In PHP, how can I remove items in an array whose keys are found in another array conveniently? -

i have 2 arrays:

$array = new array('id'=>1, 'name'=>'peter', 'sex'=>'male', 'age'=>25);  $excludes = new array('sex', 'age');

i want following result:

$array = new array('id'=>1, 'name'=>'peter');

the items keys found in array $excludes removed.

how can achieve conveniently?

simply array_diff_key , array_flip functions:

// $arr initial array (besides, don't give `$array` name arrays) $result = array_diff_key($arr, array_flip($excludes)); print_r($result);

the output:

array (     [id] => 1     [name] => peter )
