A VBScript equivalent of PHP’s array_diff

Function array_diff(ByVal mAry1,ByVal mAry2)

    Dim arr_dif,key_c,key,found
    set arr_dif = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

    If isArray(mAry1) Then
        set mAry1 = array2Dic(mAry1)
    End If

    If isArray(mAry2) Then
        set mAry2 = array2Dic(mAry2)
    End If


    For Each key In mAry1

        found = false
        For Each key_c In mAry2
            If mAry1(key) = mAry2(key_c) Then
                found = true
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

        If Not found Then
            arr_dif.add key, mAry1(key)
        End If
    Next


    set array_diff = arr_dif

End Function
