Examples
Running
1 2 3 | $array1 = {a: 'green', b: 'brown', c: 'blue', 0: 'red'} $array2 = {a: 'GREEN', B: 'brown', 0: 'yellow', 1: 'red'} array_diff_uassoc($array1, $array2, function (key1, key2){ return (key1 == key2 ? 0 : (key1 > key2 ? 1 : -1)); }); |
Should return
1 | {b: 'brown', c: 'blue', 0: 'red'} |

Open syntax issues
php.js uses JsLint to help us keep our code consistent and prevent some common bugs.
Eventually we want all code to pass or at least take into consideration most fixes suggested by JsLint, following this JsLint configuration we’ve decided on.
