Properties

array $_edits Array of changes.

Methods

diff(array $from_content, array $to_content, bool $preserve_cr = true)

Computes diffs between sequences of strings.
get_diff()

Returns the array of differences.
integer count_added_lines()

returns the number of new (added) lines in a given diff.
integer count_deleted_lines()

Returns the number of deleted (removed) lines in a given diff.
diff reverse()

Computes a reversed diff.
boolean is_empty()

Checks for an empty diff.
integer lcs()

Computes the length of the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS).
array get_original()

Gets the original set of lines.
array get_final()

Gets the final set of lines.
trim_newlines(string $line, integer $key)

Removes trailing newlines from a line of text.
_check($from_lines, $to_lines)

Checks a diff for validity.

Details

at line 53
public diff(array $from_content, array $to_content, bool $preserve_cr = true)

Computes diffs between sequences of strings.

Parameters

array $from_content An array of strings. Typically these are lines from a file.
array $to_content An array of strings.
bool $preserve_cr If true, \r is replaced by a new line in the diff output

at line 62
public get_diff()

Returns the array of differences.

at line 74
public integer count_added_lines()

returns the number of new (added) lines in a given diff.

Return Value

integer The number of new lines

at line 97
public integer count_deleted_lines()

Returns the number of deleted (removed) lines in a given diff.

Return Value

integer The number of deleted lines

at line 126
public diff reverse()

Computes a reversed diff.

Example: $diff = new diff($lines1, $lines2); $rev = $diff->reverse();

Return Value

diff A Diff object representing the inverse of the original diff. Note that we purposely don't return a reference here, since this essentially is a clone() method.

at line 153
public boolean is_empty()

Checks for an empty diff.

Return Value

boolean True if two sequences were identical.

at line 195
public integer lcs()

Computes the length of the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS).

This is mostly for diagnostic purposes.

Return Value

integer The length of the LCS.

at line 218
public array get_original()

Gets the original set of lines.

This reconstructs the $from_lines parameter passed to the constructor.

Return Value

array The original sequence of strings.

at line 241
public array get_final()

Gets the final set of lines.

This reconstructs the $to_lines parameter passed to the constructor.

Return Value

array The sequence of strings.

at line 263
public trim_newlines(string $line, integer $key)

Removes trailing newlines from a line of text.

This is meant to be used with array_walk().

Parameters

string $line The line to trim.
integer $key The index of the line in the array. Not used.

at line 273
public _check($from_lines, $to_lines)

Checks a diff for validity.

This is here only for debugging purposes.

Parameters

$from_lines
$to_lines
