xdiff_file_rabdiff — Make binary diff of two files using the Rabin's polynomial fingerprinting algorithm
$old_file
, string $new_file
, string $dest
)Makes a binary diff of two files and stores the result in a patch file. The difference between this function and xdiff_file_bdiff() is different algorithm used which should result in faster execution and smaller diff produced. This function works with both text and binary files. Resulting patch file can be later applied using xdiff_file_bpatch()/ xdiff_string_bpatch().
For more details about differences between algorithm used please check » libxdiff website.
old_file
Path to the first file. This file acts as "old" file.
new_file
Path to the second file. This file acts as "new" file.
dest
Path of the resulting patch file. Resulting file contains differences between "old" and "new" files. It is in binary format and is human-unreadable.
Restituisce TRUE in caso di successo, FALSE in caso di fallimento.
Example #1 xdiff_file_rabdiff() example
The following code makes binary diff of two archives.
<?php
$old_version = 'my_script_1.0.tgz';
$new_version = 'my_script_1.1.tgz';
xdiff_file_rabdiff($old_version, $new_version, 'my_script.bdiff');
?>
Nota:
Both files will be loaded into memory so ensure that your memory_limit is set high enough.
