php find differences in multi dimensional arrays

[trpost]

I am looking for a way to find the differences between 2
multidimensional arrays. I have found ways to do this based on 1 key,
but I want to be able to look at differences based on all keys:

For example:

Array 1

[0]=>
array(6) {
["Category"]=>
string(11) "WORKSTATION1"
["Category_Code"]=>
string(5) "WOR19"

[1]=>
array(6) {
["Category"]=>
string(11) "WORKSTATION2"
["Category_Code"]=>
string(5) "WOR19"

Array 2

[0]=>
array(6) {
["Category"]=>
string(11) "WORKSTATION1"
["Category_Code"]=>
string(5) "WOR19"

Resulting Array after identifying differences:

[0]=>
array(6) {
["Category"]=>
string(11) "WORKSTATION2"
["Category_Code"]=>
string(5) "WOR19"

So if any of the multidimentional array values are different, then
there isn't a match and the "record" is returned.

Thanks

Serialize elements of these two arrays and then use
http://php.net/array_diff.
