var_export($array2);
//returning the intersection of array1 and array2
$result_array = array_intersect($array1, $array2);
echo("\nIntersection: \n");
//printing the intersection of the array based on values

//computing the intersection between array1, array2 and array3
$intersection = array_intersect($array1,$array2,$array3);
//printing the intersection containing all the entries from array1 that are present in array2 nd array3
