If you're looking for a relatively easy way to strictly intersect keys and values recursively without array key reordering, here's a simple recursive function:
<?php
function array_intersect_recursive($array1, $array2)
{
foreach($array1 as $key => $value)
{
if (!isset($array2[$key]))
{
unset($array1[$key]);
}
else
{
if (is_array($array1[$key]))
{
$array1[$key] = array_intersect_recursive($array1[$key], $array2[$key]);
}
elseif ($array2[$key] !== $value)
{
unset($array1[$key]);
}
}
}
return $array1;
}
?>
