xdiff_string_diff — Make unified diff of two strings
Description
$old_data
, string $new_data
[, int $context
= 3
[, bool $minimal
= false
]] )
Makes an unified diff containing differences between old_data
string and
new_data
string and returns it. The resulting diff is human-readable.
An optional context
parameter specifies how many lines of context should be
added around each change. Setting minimal
parameter
to true will result in outputting the shortest patch file possible (can take a long time).
Parameters
-
old_data
-
First string with data. It acts as "old" data.
-
new_data
-
Second string with data. It acts as "new" data.
-
context
-
Indicates how many lines of context you want to include in the diff result.
-
minimal
-
Set this parameter to
TRUE
if you want to minimalize the size of the result (can take a long time).
Return Values
Returns string with resulting diff or FALSE
if an internal error happened.
Examples
Example #1 xdiff_string_diff() example
The following code makes unified diff of two articles.
<?php
$old_article = file_get_contents('./old_article.txt');
$new_article = $_REQUEST['article']; /* Let's say that someone pasted a new article to html form */
$diff = xdiff_string_diff($old_article, $new_article, 1);
if (is_string($diff)) {
echo "Differences between two articles:\n";
echo $diff;
}
?>
Notes
Note:
This function doesn't work well with binary strings. To make diff of binary strings use xdiff_string_bdiff()/xdiff_string_rabdiff().
