That’s tricky! Let’s assume we have two arrays like these:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
class Foo { public $bar; public $flag; public function __construct(string $bar, bool $flag) { $this->bar = $bar; $this->flag = $flag; } public function __toString(): string { return $this->bar; } } $array1 = [ new Foo('test', true), ]; $array2 = [ new Foo('test', false), ]; |

|
1 2 3 4 |
var_dump(array_diff($array1, $array2)); array(0) { } |
This happens…

You all, at some point, faced the necessity to compare old and new values when storing an entity. Here is where Doctrine EntityListener comes at help. Let imagine you have this User entity
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
<?php namespace App/Entity; class User { /** @var string $email */ private $email; public function getEmail(): string { return $this->email; } } |
