php diff

[AirYT]

Hello,

I'm looking for an implementation for diffing 2 (text) files and spitting
out the output using php only. i would like to extend this to use ftp to
diff two files on two ftp servers, or one local file & a remote ftp server.

Anyone have any ideas on source for this before i go ahead and build it? At
least the diff engine? a nice gui would be best, but not totally necessary.

TIA,
yt

For the diff engine part:

http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Diff
(I've been using this for a while and it's fine)

http://pecl.php.net/package/xdiff
(Not pure PHP, it's a compiled extension)

Or shell out to an external diff command.

I wrote one using Text_Diff at work (which means I can't post the code) - it's
not that hard, you just make your own subclass of the Text_Diff_Renderer class
from Text_Diff, if I remember correctly. I think there's also a couple of
example renderers in the package that you can tweak.
