<para>
<function>array_diff_key</function> returns an array
containing all the values of <parameter>array1</parameter>
that have keys that are not present in any of the other arguments.
Note that the associativity is preserved. This function is like
<function>array_diff</function> except the comparison is done on the
keys instead of the values.

<simpara>
The two keys from the <literal>key =&gt; value</literal> pairs are
considered equal only if
<literal>(string) $key1 === (string) $key2 </literal>. In other words
a strict type check is executed so the string representation must be
the same.
</simpara>
<note>
<simpara>
Please note that this function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional
array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using
<literal>array_diff_key($array1[0], $array2[0]);</literal>.
