Up to character-level diffs can be computed. A diff is described by a string of opcodes, which can be stored and combined later with the left hand string to re-create the right-hand string. The code was started from scratch, with particular attention to performance. The key to the performance of the FineDiff engine is to incrementally increase the granularity. Usage ----- The simplest way to create a diff of two strings is as follow: include 'finediff.php'; $opcodes = FineDiff::getDiffOpcodes($from_text, $to_text /, default granularity is set to character */); // store opcodes for later use... Later, $to_text can be re-created from $from_text using $opcodes as follow: include 'finediff.php'; $to_text = FineDiff::renderToTextFromOpcodes($from_text, $opcodes); If you wish a different granularity from the default one, you can use one of the provided stock granularity stacks: FineDiff::$paragraphGranularity FineDiff::$sentenceGranularity FineDiff::$wordGranularity FineDiff::$characterGranularity (default) A basic HTML renderer is provided: echo FineDiff::renderDiffToHTMLFromOpcodes($from_text, $opcodes); Customize --------- It is possible to customize the engine by providing a custom "granularity stack" at your own risk. It is also possible to provide a custom renderer through a user supplied callback function/method: FineDiff::renderFromOpcodes($from, $opcodes, $callback); FAQ --- * Does it work with UTF-8? Yes!
