xdiff_string_patch — Patch a string with an unified diff

### Beschreibung

string xdiff_string_patch ( string `$str` , string `$patch` [, int `$flags` [, string `&$error` ]] )

Patches a `str` string with an unified patch in `patch` parameter and returns the result. `patch` has to be an unified diff created by xdiff_file_diff()/xdiff_string_diff() function. An optional `flags` parameter specifies mode of operation. Any rejected parts of the patch will be stored inside `error` variable if it is provided.

### Parameter-Liste

`str`

  The original string.

`patch`

  The unified patch string. It has to be created using xdiff_string_diff(), xdiff_file_diff() functions or compatible tools.

`flags`

  `flags` can be either `XDIFF_PATCH_NORMAL` (default mode, normal patch) or `XDIFF_PATCH_REVERSE` (reversed patch).

  Starting from version 1.5.0, you can also use binary OR to enable `XDIFF_PATCH_IGNORESPACE` flag.

`error`

  If provided then rejected parts are stored inside this variable.

### Rückgabewerte

Returns the patched string, or `FALSE` on error.
