Syntax

mixed xdiff_string_diff ( string str1, string str2 [, int context [, bool minimal]] )

xdiff_string_diff() makes unified diff of strings str1 and str2. context indicated how many lines of context you want to include in diff result. Set minimal to TRUE if you want to minimalize size of diff (can take a long time).

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;
}

?>
