Difference between two arrays, PHP?

To anybody wanting a double-sided array_diff - mentioned by rudigier at noxx dot at. Remember, array_diff gives you everything in the first array that isn't in the subsequent arrays.

$array1=array('blue','red','green');
$array2=array('blue','yellow','green');

array_merge(array_diff($array1, $array2),array_diff($array2, $array1));

Result
------
Array
(
    [0] => red
    [1] => yellow
)

Works fine from here so you'll have to show some code to see what you're doing differently.

Thank you for getting back to me. As I had mentioned in my question I tried array_diff and it does not work. I have attached my code for your reference. Is there any other way this can be done?

 $extens= $_GET['extsn']; //comma seperated values; 200,201
        $extss = explode(",",$extens); //puts it into an array
        echo "The nums to delete :".$extens;

        /**********get existing extens from the DB*********/

         $stmt = $db->query("SELECT val from queues where name='extension' and id='$group_number'");
         $row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
         $existing_exts= implode(",",$row); //200,201,202,203

         echo "Existing nos ".$existing_exts;
        /*****End************/


          $exten_array =array_diff($extss,$row);
          $exten_nos=implode(",",$exten_array);
          echo "difference is :". $exten_nos; //output is 200,201

Hello all, thank you for your inputs. I had made a mistake because of which array_diff was giving me a wrong output, it works now. Thank you.
