xdiff_string_diff — Make unified diff of two strings
Описание
$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).

Пример #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 */

Замечание:
This function doesn't work well with binary strings. To make diff of binary strings use xdiff_string_bdiff()/xdiff_string_rabdiff().
