differences of two files?

hi ng,
there is an html-file on a webserver, i.e. web34.htm
every day, the file will be updated and extended.
i'm looking for php-code, that show me the difference or better, the new
text between the old and the updated file.
a line to line comparision is not possible, because the file will bei
extendend.
any suggestions?

You're probably much better off using the "diff" program rather than
looking for PHP code to do it. If you really need to do something else
with it in PHP you could always call diff using exec() or passthru()

diff is not possible, because the server do not not allow to execute
unix commands.

Just grab the PHP classes from the package. Don't tell me you can't
upload PHP files to the server either.

I've been given the task of trying to determine if some Java source code is the correct version of what is in production. Previous people took the source code and compiled it and then compared it to the class they extracted from the production ear file. There were slight differences but they said they were 99% the same. I'm not sure how they reached that conclusion. My question is, is it possible that the production classes were compiled...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
