# array_intersect

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1)

array_intersect -- Computes the intersection of arrays

## Description

array array_intersect ( array array1, array array2 [, array ...])

array_intersect() returns an array containing all the values of `array1` that are present in all the arguments. Note that keys are preserved.

Example 1. array_intersect() example

    $array1 = array ("a" => "green", "red", "blue");
    $array2 = array ("b" => "green", "yellow", "red");
    $result = array_intersect ($array1, $array2);

This makes `$result` have

    Array
    (
        [a] => green
        [0] => red
    )

> Note: Two elements are considered equal if and only if `(string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2`. In words: when the string representation is the same.

Warning
This was broken in PHP 4.0.4!
