Re: "convoluted"
I think the point being made is that array_udiff() can be used not only for comparisons between homogenous arrays, as in your example (and definitely the most common need), but it can be used to compare heterogeneous arrays, too.
Consider:
<?php
function compr_1($a, $b) {
$aVal = is_array($a) ? $a['last_name'] : $a;
$bVal = is_array($b) ? $b['last_name'] : $b;
return strcasecmp($aVal, $bVal);
}
$aEmployees = array(
array('last_name' => 'Smith',
'first_name' => 'Joe',
'phone' => '555-1000'),
array('last_name' => 'Doe',
'first_name' => 'John',
'phone' => '555-2000'),
array('last_name' => 'Flagg',
'first_name' => 'Randall',
'phone' => '666-1000')
);
$aNames = array('Doe', 'Smith', 'Johnson');
$result = array_udiff($aEmployees, $aNames, "compr_1");
print_r($result);
?>
Allowing me to get the "employee" that's not in the name list:
Array ( [2] => Array ( [last_name] => Flagg [first_name] => Randall [phone] => 666-1000 ) )
Something interesting to note, is that the two arguments to the compare function don't correspond to array1 and array2. That's why there has to be logic in it to handle that either of the arguments might be pointing to the more complex employee array. (Found this out the hard way.)
array_udiff
(PHP 5)
array_udiff — データの比較にコールバック関数を用い、配列の差を計算する
説明
データの比較にコールバック関数を用い、配列の差を計算します。 この関数は array_diff() と異なり、 データの比較に内部関数を利用します。
パラメータ
- array1
-
最初の配列。
- array2
-
2 番目の配列。
- data_compare_func
-
比較用のコールバック関数。
ユーザが指定したコールバック関数を用いてデータの比較を行います。 この関数は、1 つめの引数が 2 つめより小さい / 等しい / 大きい 場合にそれぞれ 負の数 / ゼロ / 正の数 を返す必要があります。
返り値
他の引数のいずれにも存在しない array1 の値の全てを有する配列を返します。
例
例1 array_udiff() の例
<?php
class cr {
private $priv_member;
function cr($val)
{
$this->priv_member = $val;
}
static function comp_func_cr($a, $b)
{
if ($a->priv_member === $b->priv_member) return 0;
return ($a->priv_member > $b->priv_member)? 1:-1;
}
}
$a = array("0.1" => new cr(9), "0.5" => new cr(12), 0 => new cr(23), 1=> new cr(4), 2 => new cr(-15),);
$b = array("0.2" => new cr(9), "0.5" => new cr(22), 0 => new cr(3), 1=> new cr(4), 2 => new cr(-15),);
$result = array_udiff($a, $b, array("cr", "comp_func_cr"));
print_r($result);
?>
上の例の出力は以下となります。
Array ( [0.5] => cr Object ( [priv_member:private] => 12 ) [0] => cr Object ( [priv_member:private] => 23 ) )
注意
注意: この関数は n 次元配列の一つの次元しかチェックしないことに注意してください。 もちろん、array_udiff($array1[0], $array2[0], "data_compare_func"); のようにすることでより深い次元でのチェックもできます。

I think the example given here using classes is convoluting things too much to demonstrate what this function does.
array_udiff() will walk through array_values($a) and array_values($b) and compare each value by using the passed in callback function.
To put it another way, array_udiff() compares $a[0] to $b[0], $b[1], $b[2], and $b[3] using the provided callback function. If the callback returns zero for any of the comparisons then $a[0] will not be in the returned array from array_udiff(). It then compares $a[1] to $b[0], $b[1], $b[2], and $b[3]. Then, finally, $a[2] to $b[0], $b[1], $b[2], and $b[3].
For example, compare_ids($a[0], $b[0]) === -5 while compare_ids($a[1], $b[1]) === 0. Therefore, $a[1] is not returned from array_udiff() since it is present in $b.
<?
$a = array(
array(
'id' => 10,
'name' => 'John',
'color' => 'red',
),
array(
'id' => 20,
'name' => 'Elise',
'color' => 'blue',
),
array(
'id' => 30,
'name' => 'Mark',
'color' => 'red',
),
);
$b = array(
array(
'id' => 15,
'name' => 'Nancy',
'color' => 'black',
),
array(
'id' => 20,
'name' => 'Elise',
'color' => 'blue',
),
array(
'id' => 30,
'name' => 'Mark',
'color' => 'red',
),
array(
'id' => 40,
'name' => 'John',
'color' => 'orange',
),
);
function compare_ids($a, $b)
{
return ($a['id'] - $b['id']);
}
function compare_names($a, $b)
{
return strcmp($a['name'], $b['name']);
}
$ret = array_udiff($a, $b, 'compare_ids');
var_dump($ret);
$ret = array_udiff($b, $a, 'compare_ids');
var_dump($ret);
$ret = array_udiff($a, $b, 'compare_names');
var_dump($ret);
?>
Which returns the following.
In the first return we see that $b has no entry in it with an id of 10.
<?
array(1) {
[0]=>
array(3) {
["id"]=>
int(10)
["name"]=>
string(4) "John"
["color"]=>
string(3) "red"
}
}
?>
In the second return we see that $a has no entry in it with an id of 15 or 40.
<?
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(3) {
["id"]=>
int(15)
["name"]=>
string(5) "Nancy"
["color"]=>
string(5) "black"
}
[3]=>
array(3) {
["id"]=>
int(40)
["name"]=>
string(4) "John"
["color"]=>
string(6) "orange"
}
}
?>
In third return we see that all names in $a are in $b (even though the entry in $b whose name is 'John' is different, the anonymous function is only comparing names).
<?
array(0) {
}
?>

Very easy way of achieving a case-insensitive version of array_diff (or indeed array_diff_assoc, array_intersect or any of these types of functions which have a similar function that takes a callback function as one of their parameters):
array_udiff($array1, $array2, 'strcasecmp');
This works because strcasecmp() compares two strings case-insensitively, as compared to the array_diff() which compares two strings by using the == operator, which is case-sensitive.

This functionality is now implemented in the PEAR package PHP_Compat.
