organising an array

I know I'm overlooking something simple but here goes.

I have two arrays

first comes from the db and the second comes from user input.
I need to find the differences in the arrays, here comes array_diff() to the rescue, yeah. problem is it keeps the array index so you end up with

Code: Select all

array from db
currentItems 0 is 1
currentItems 1 is 2
currentItems 2 is 

array from user input is
itemsArray 0 is 1
itemsArray 1 is 
itemsArray 2 is 

array_diff() gives
diffArray 0 is 
diffArray 1 is 2
diffArray 2 is
what I want is to be able to reindex the diffArray so the values restart at index 0.
Is there a built in php function of do I have to write a custom one to do it.
just trying to save some effort.
