A VBScript equivalent of PHP’s array_diff_uassoc

Function array_diff_uassoc(ByVal mAry1,ByVal mAry2,key_compare_func)

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

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

    Dim j,k,callback_ret
    For Each j in mAry1

        arr_dif.Add j, mAry1(j)

        For Each k In mAry2
            If mAry1(j) = mAry2(k) Then
                execute("callback_ret = " & key_compare_func & "(j,k)")
                If callback_ret = 0 Then
                    If arr_dif.Exists(j) Then arr_dif.Remove j
                ElseIf callback_ret < 0 Then
                    arr_dif.Remove j
                    If arr_dif.Exists(k) Then
                        arr_dif.Item( k ) = mAry2(k)
                    Else
                        arr_dif.Add k ,mAry2(k)
