how to compare two array value and remove the duplicate value from the first array using php for example
$a = ['a','b','c','d','e','f']; $b = ['a','e']; $result_array = ['b','c','d','f'];
I tried this:
$a = ['a','b','c','d','e','f']; $b = ['a','e']; foreach($a as $key_a=>$val_a){ $val = ''; foreach($b as $key_b=>$val_b){ if($val_a != $val_b){ $val = $val_a; }else{$val = $val_b;} } echo $val."<br>"; }

This is probably a duplicate, but I’m bored. Just compute the difference:
$a = array_diff($a, $b);
Or loop the main array, check for each value in the other and if found unset from the main array:
foreach($a as $k => $v) { if(in_array($v, $b)) { unset($a[$k]); } }
Or loop the other array, search for each value in the main array and use the key found to unset it:
foreach($b as $v) { if(($k = array_search($v, $a)) !== false) { unset($a[$k]); } }
