Answer 1

Try this

$array1 = array(1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7);
$array2 = array(1, 2, 4, 6, 3, 3, 5);
$diff = array_filter($array1, 
  function ($val) use (&$array2) { 
    $key = array_search($val, $array2);
    if ( $key === false ) return true;
    unset($array2[$key]);
    return false;
  }
);
print_r($diff);
// Array ( [2] => 2 [6] => 5 [7] => 7 )
