xdiff_string_diff — Make unified diff of two strings

### Описание

string xdiff_string_diff ( string `$old_data` , string `$new_data` [, int `$context` [, bool `$minimal` ]] )

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 (with default value of 3). Setting `minimal` parameter to true will result in outputting the shortest patch file possible (can take a long time).

### Список параметров

`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. Default is 3.

`minimal`

  Set this parameter to `TRUE` if you want to minimalize the size of the result (can take a long time).

### Возвращаемые значения

Returns string with resulting diff or `FALSE` if an internal error happened.

### Примеры

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 */
$diff = xdiff_string_diff($old_article, $new_article, 1);
if (is_string($diff)) {
echo "Differences between two articles:\n";
echo $diff;
}
?>`

### Примечания

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