Php match values between 2 arrays

Question

Guys i have a very awkward situation here , i am not sure whether am i taking a right approach or not.. i am trying to match the values between 2 arrays and then running if else statement... here's goes what i am trying to do

$array1 = array('html','php','js','css');
$array2 = array('php','python','html','java');

what i want is to make a check where the values of these 2 arrays matches to each other. like php and html is common in both and also where it doesn't match.

Thanks

Take a look at PHP's built-in array functions. And maybe array-diff php.net/manual/en/function.array-diff.php — Smamatti

By "match", do you merely mean that the variable is an element of both arrays, or do you also require that they occupy the same position in each array? — user554546

You mean like an intersection?

It's your need:

$result = array_intersect($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);

the result is:

Array
(
    [0] => html
    [1] => php
)

To get both the intersecting elements of the array and the differing elements use both array_diff() and array_intersect().
