PHP – Check if two arrays are equal

$arraysAreEqual = ($a == $b); // TRUE if $a and $b have the same key/value pairs.
$arraysAreEqual = ($a === $b); // TRUE if $a and $b have the same key/value pairs in the same order and of the same types.

See Array Operators.

EDIT

The inequality operator is != while the non-identity operator is !== to match the equality
operator == and the identity operator ===.
