is there a quick way to compare the results from two arrays and note the diffences?

[windandwaves]

is there a quick way to compare the results from two arrays and note the differences?

I have two identical tables in MySql (backup and current table) and I want to work out the differences between them (i.e. what
fields are different). I could construct some long function, but I was wondering if anyone had a quick method (I am just learning
PHP).

Thank you

That's an RTFM, see http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php for all
the array functions.

Differences in database tables should be computed by the database
itself if possible.
