Explain array_intersect() function in PHP.

In this article, we will learn an array_intersect() a predefined PHP array function. This builtin function of PHP is utilized to figure the convergence of at least two arrays. The function is utilized to compare at least two arrays and returns the matches. The function prints just those components of the first array that are available in all different array.

Example

<?php
   $array1 = array(5, 10, 15, 20,34);
   $array2 = array(20, 10, 15, 55, 100);
   $intersect_array = array_intersect($array1,$array2);
   print_r($intersect_array);
?>

output

Array
(
[1] => 10
[2] => 15
[3] => 20
)

Explanation
