New Functions

In PHP 5 there are some new functions. Here is the list of them:

Arrays:

  • array_combine() - Creates an array by using one array for keys and another for its values
  • array_diff_uassoc() - Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check which is performed by a user supplied callback function
  • array_udiff() - Computes the difference of arrays by using a callback function for data comparison
  • array_udiff_assoc() - Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check. The data is compared by using a callback function
  • array_udiff_uassoc() - Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check. The data is compared by using a callback function. The index check is done by a callback function also
  • array_walk_recursive() - Apply a user function recursively to every member of an array
  • array_uintersect_assoc() - Computes the intersection of arrays with additional index check. The data is compared by using a callback function
  • array_uintersect_uassoc() - Computes the intersection of arrays with additional index check. Both the data and the indexes are compared by using separate callback functions
  • array_uintersect() - Computes the intersection of arrays. The data is compared by using a callback function
