PHP Arrays are a type of data structure that allows to storing of multiple elements of a similar type under a single variable by saving the effort of creating a different variable for every data. The arrays are helpful to create a list of elements of similar types, which can be accessed using their index or key. The array functions are allowed to interact and manipulate the array elements in various ways. The PHP array inbuilt functions are used for simple and multi-dimensional arrays.
Installation: These functions have not required any installation. These are part of PHP core.
Below programs illustrate the array_diff_uassoc() function in PHP:
PHP
<?php // PHP program to illustrate the // array_diff_uassoc() function // user defined function that returns 0 if // $array1's keys are equal to any other // input array, else returns 1 if greater, // or -1 if smaller function user_function($a, $b) { if ($a===$b) { return 0; } return ($a>$b)? 1: -1; } // Input Arrays $a1=array(10=>"striver", 20=>"raj", 30=>"geek"); $a2=array(20=>"striver", 10=>"raj", 30=>"geek"); $result = array_diff_uassoc($a1, $a2, "user_function"); print_r($result); ?> |
Output:
Array
(
[10] => striver
[20] => raj
)
The complete list of Array Functions are given below:

| array_values() | Get an array of values from another array that may contain key-value pairs or just values. | |
| array_walk_recursive() | The array element’s keys and values are parameters in the callback function. | |
| array_walk() | It is a user-defined function to every element of the array. | |
| array() | This is used to create an array. | |
| arsort() | Sort an array according to values. | |
| compact() | Create an array using variables. | |
| count() | Count the current elements in the array. | |
| current() | Return the value of the element in an array which is the internal pointer. | |
| end() | Find the last element of the given array. | |
| extract() | The extract() function does array to variable conversion. | |
