I have found the following helpful:
<?PHP
function array_merge_default($default, $data) {
$intersect = array_intersect_key($data, $default); //Get data for which a default exists
$diff = array_diff_key($default, $data); //Get defaults which are not present in data
return $diff + $intersect; //Arrays have different keys, return the union of the two
}
?>
It's use is like both of the functions it uses, but keeps defaults and _only_ defaults. It's designed for key arrays, and i'm not sure how it will work on numeric indexed arrays.
Example:
<?PHP
$default = array(
"one" => 1,
"two" => 2
);
$untrusted = array(
"one" => 42,
"three" => 3
);
var_dump(array_merge_default($default, $untrusted));
array(2) {
["two"]=>
int(2)
["one"]=>
int(42)
}
?>
array_intersect_key
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)
array_intersect_key — Calcula la intersección de matrices usando las llaves para la comparación
Descripción
array_intersect_key() regresa una matriz conteniendo todos los valores de array1 los cuales tienen llaves que están presentes en todos los argumentos.
Example #1 Ejemplo array_intersect_key()
<?php
$array1 = array('azul' => 1, 'rojo' => 2, 'verde' => 3, 'morado' => 4);
$array2 = array('verde' => 5, 'azul' => 6, 'amarillo' => 7, 'cyan' => 8);
var_dump(array_intersect_key($array1, $array2));
?>
El resultado del ejemplo seria:
array(2) { ["azul"]=> int(1) ["verde"]=> int(3) })
En nuestro ejemplo puede ver que sólo las llaves 'azul' y 'verde' están presentes en ambas matrices y por lo tanto son regresadas. Tambi´n note que los valores para las llaves 'azul' y 'verde' son diferentes en las dos matrices. Aún así siguen coincidiendo porque se hace la comparación sólo en las llaves. Los valores regresados son aquellos de array1 .
Las dos llaves del par key => value, son considerados iguales solo si (string) $key1 === (string) $key2 . En otras palabras se hace un chequeo estricto del tipo de dato de tal manera que la representación de la cadena debe ser la misma.

Here is a faster version than those shown below, with optimisation for the case when only two arrays are passed. In my tests with a 10000 item first array and a 5000 item second array (run 20 times) this function ran in 1.89 seconds compared with 2.66 for the version posted by dak. For a three array case, same as above but with the third array containing 3333 values, the timing is 3.25 for this version compared with 3.7 for dak's version.
<?php
if (!function_exists('array_intersect_key'))
{
function array_intersect_key($isec, $keys)
{
$argc = func_num_args();
if ($argc > 2)
{
for ($i = 1; !empty($isec) && $i < $argc; $i++)
{
$arr = func_get_arg($i);
foreach (array_keys($isec) as $key)
{
if (!isset($arr[$key]))
{
unset($isec[$key]);
}
}
}
return $isec;
}
else
{
$res = array();
foreach (array_keys($isec) as $key)
{
if (isset($keys[$key]))
{
$res[$key] = $isec[$key];
}
}
return $res;
}
}
}
?>
Here it is a more obvious way to implement the function:
if (!function_exists('array_intersect_key')) {
function array_intersect_key()
{
$arrs = func_get_args();
$result = array_shift($arrs);
foreach ($arrs as $array) {
foreach ($result as $key => $v) {
if (!array_key_exists($key, $array)) {
unset($result[$key]);
}
}
}
return $result;
}
}

Jesse: no, array_intersect_key does not accomplish the same thing as what you posted:
array_flip (array_intersect (array_flip ($a), array_flip ($b)))
because when the array is flipped, values become keys. having duplicate values is not a problem, but having duplicate keys is. array_flip resolves it by keeping only one of the duplicates and discarding the rest. by the time you start intersecting, you've already lost information.

A more efficient (and, I think, simpler) compatibility implementation:
<?php
if (!function_exists('array_intersect_key'))
{
function array_intersect_key ($isec, $arr2)
{
$argc = func_num_args();
for ($i = 1; !empty($isec) && $i < $argc; $i++)
{
$arr = func_get_arg($i);
foreach ($isec as $k =>& $v)
if (!isset($arr[$k]))
unset($isec[$k]);
}
return $isec;
}
}
?>

Based on the code posted by gaylord dot aulke at 100days.de
i wrote this one. This should implement this function in all versions equal or greater than PHP 4.0
function array_intersect_key($arr1, $arr2) {
$res = array();
foreach($arr1 as $key=>$value) {
$push = true;
for ($i = 1; $i < func_num_args(); $i++) {
$actArray = func_get_arg($i);
if (gettype($actArray) != 'array') return false;
if (!array_key_exists($key, $actArray)) $push = false;
}
if ($push) $res[$key] = $arr1[$key];
}
return $res;
}

I tried to use this function with PHP 5.0.4 under windows but the function does not seem to be implemented.
(Fatal error: Call to undefined function array_intersect_key())
This works as a workaround for 2 arrays at least:
function array_intersect_key($arr1, $arr2) {
$res = array();
foreach($arr1 as $key=>$value) {
if(array_key_exists($key, $arr2)) $res[$key] = $arr1[$key];
}
return $res;
}

This functionality is now implemented in the PEAR package PHP_Compat.
More information about using this function without upgrading your version of PHP can be found on the below link:
