Compare Arrays

[thecase]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to compare arrays but they have different levels of keys

 

 

Array 1

array (size=1)
'fdate' => string '2013-04-14' (length=10)
array (size=1)
'fdate' => string '2013-04-21' (length=10)

 

 

Array 2
array (size=7)
0 => string '2013-04-14' (length=10)
1 => string '2013-04-21' (length=10)
2 => string '2013-04-28' (length=10)
3 => string '2013-05-05' (length=10)
4 => string '2013-05-12' (length=10)
5 => string '2013-05-19' (length=10)
6 => string '2013-05-26' (length=10)

 

I've tried to compare using array_diff but this only finds a difference on the first entry for array 1 I assumed due to the different way it set up.  Any ideas how I can get this to work

 

Thanks

what result are you trying to achieve? comparing them using what condition or rule?

you could convert array1 to same format as array2

$array1 = array (
            array ('fdate' => '2013-04-14'),
            array ('fdate' => '2013-04-21')
        );
        
$array3 = array();

foreach ($array1 as $k => $dates) {
    foreach ($dates as $d) {
        $array3[$k] = $d;
    }
}

I'm trying to comapre the two arrays for duplicates and set up an array with the dates that arent duplicated.

 

I don't have control over the 1st array as it comes from the database but I can change the 2nd array. I'll try what you suggested Barand thanks
