Examples
Example 1. array_diff() example
<?php
$array1 = array("a" => "green", "red", "blue", "red");
$array2 = array("b" => "green", "yellow", "red");
$result = array_diff($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);

Notes
Note:
Two elements are considered equal if and only if
(string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2. In words:
when the string representation is the same.
Note:
This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional
array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using
array_diff($array1[0], $array2[0]);.

This was broken in PHP 4.0.4!
