Hi,

I found the following behaviour not normal....and at least not reflecting what 
is said in the documentation

using arraydiff alone returns   >*en#nl
there is an empty value field at the place of the "removed" 
component of the array
There is an empty field between > and *  !!  

   $lang=array("fr","en","nl");
   $lg1=array("fr");
   $olang=(array_diff($lang,$lg1);
   echo ">",$olang[0],"*",$olang[1],"#",$olang[2],"\n";

The resulting vector is not shorter !!

1) This is not matching what is said in the documentation and can makes a 
programmer loose time trying to find why it is not working as he expected,....
We would have expected a behaviour closer to array_intersect which is
returning an array with only the significant values...!

2) this is removing symetry of behaviour of array_diff compared to
    array_intersect....

The following workaround solves the problem, but  needs at least to CLEARLY
be mentioned in the documentation of the usage of the array_diff function,
if it would not be planned to improve the behaviour of the function in the expected 
way....

   $olang=array_values(array_diff($lang,$lg1));
   echo "2>",$olang[0],"*",$olang[1],"#",$olang[2],"\n";
