xdiff_string_diffMake unified diff of two strings

Description

xdiff_string_diff ( string $old_data , string $new_data [, int $context = 3 [, bool $minimal = FALSE ]] ) : string

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. Setting minimal parameter to true will result in outputting the shortest patch file possible (can take a long time).
