PEAR is always full of interesting and useful PHP packages. They may not be terribly efficient, but the power they offer easily outweighs that. As of today, we have a stable version of the very interesting Text_Diff package.
Ever seen Wikipedia’s revision diff system, that allows you to compare two versions of a page and clearly marks the differences? Well, if you’ve ever wanted to do that yourself, now you can. The PEAR package Text_Diff has just released a stable version, and offers all the text comparison functionality you need to add some pretty cool revision management features to your application. It even comes with a MediaWiki-style demo. If you’ve been looking for a version of the levenshtein() function that supports more than 255 characters, this could be your chance.
