But when i am executing :

   $results= array_diff($b,$a);

then I got the result like this But i dont want association (i.e. 2 as below). I want only key.(i.e. 1607).

My output Array results is : {"2":"1607"}

I want output like ["1607"].

You need to [rebase the array key values](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5943165/561731) — Naftali, Jul 10 '13 at 13:10

You're almost there, just one more step: array_values($results)

Simply get the values of the result:

$results= array_values(array_diff($b,$a));

To a double-sided array_diff use

$result = array_values(array_merge(array_diff($b, $a), array_diff($a, $b)));

if not use

$result = array_values(array_diff($b, $a));

You can use array_values:

$results = array_values(array_diff($b,$a))

In PHP, all arrays are associative. array_values essentially "resets" the indexes to a numeric version.
