Please note that php.js uses JavaScript objects as substitutes for PHP arrays, they are 
the closest match to this hashtable-like data structure. 

Please also note that php.js offers community built functions and goes by the 
[McDonald's Theory](https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/9216e1c9da7d). We'll put online 
functions that are far from perfect, in the hopes to spark better contributions.

### Example 1
This code
{% codeblock lang:js example %}
$array1 = {a: 'green', b: 'brown', c: 'blue', 0: 'red'}
$array2 = {a: 'GREEN', B: 'brown', 0: 'yellow', 1: 'red'}
array_diff_uassoc($array1, $array2, function (key1, key2){ return (key1 == key2 ? 0 : (key1 > key2 ? 1 : -1)); });
{% endcodeblock %}

Should return
{% codeblock lang:js returns %}
{b: 'brown', c: 'blue', 0: 'red'}
{% endcodeblock %}
