Script :
<?
$tab1 = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0);
$tab2 = array(2,4,6,8,0);
$rs = array_intersect($tab1,$tab2);
for($i = 0; $i<sizeof($rs);$i++)
{
	echo $rs[$i]."<br>";
}
echo "<hr>";
$rs = array_intersect($tab2,$tab1);
for($i = 0; $i<sizeof($rs);$i++)
{
	echo $rs[$i]."<br>";
}
?>


Output :

according to the documentation, array_intersect should give the same result independently of the order of parameters.

You should check your code..this prints same with both ways:

<?php

$tab1 = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0);
$tab2 = array(2,4,6,8,0);
$rs = array_intersect($tab1,$tab2);

print_r($rs);

$rs = array_intersect($tab2,$tab1);

print_r($rs);

?>


And from manual page for array_intersect(): 
  
    "Note that keys are preserved."
