Compare 2 array values in 2 arrays Php

admin · Oct 10, 2022

I have deleted the old post to make this more clear. I have 2 arrays that I need to compare and match but only if 2 values per array are the same.

Code:

$array1 = $plugins

<br>

Code:

$array2 = $xml_dump

A sample of what both arrays look like:

Code:

$plugins 

Array
(
    [all] =&gt; Array
        (
            [ajax-category-dropdown/dhat-ajax-cat-dropdown.php] =&gt; Array
                (
                    [Name] =&gt; Ajax Category Dropdown
                    [PluginURI] =&gt; http://www.example.com/ajax/
                    [Version] =&gt; 0.1.5

                    [AuthorName] =&gt; Dya
                )

            [akismet/akismet.php] =&gt; Array
                (

                )

            [1] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object

                    [ex_date] =&gt; 2008-01-03
                    [plugin_url] =&gt; http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contactform/

                )

            [2] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object
                (
                    [name] =&gt; Math Comment Spam Protection

                    [advisory_url] =&gt; a
                )

I need it to return the value ( or return true) only if $array1

Code:

Name

,

Code:

Version

matches $array2

Code:

name

,

Code:

ex_version

In the example above you can see that

Code:

$array1
Name =&gt; Ajax Category Dropdown
Version =&gt; 0.1.5

///has a match in 

$array2
name =&gt; Ajax Category Dropdown
ex_version =&gt; 0.1.5

I have tried many variations of

Code:

array_intersect

but I cannot get it to match 2 values for each array.
