A VBScript equivalent of PHP’s array_diff_assoc

Function array_diff_assoc(ByVal mAry1,ByVal mAry2)

    Dim retAry
    set retAry = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

    If Not isObject(mAry1) or Not isObject(mAry2) Then
        set array_diff_assoc = retAry : Exit Function
    End If

    Dim j,k
    For Each j in mAry1

        retAry.Add j, mAry1(j)

        For Each k In mAry2
            if j = k and mAry1(j) = mAry2(k) Then retAry.Remove k
        Next
    Next

    set array_diff_assoc = retAry

End Function
