Re: Comparing files

Quoting mathieu leddet <mathieu.leddet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Hi all,

I have a simple question : how can I ensure that 2 files are identical ?

How about this ?

--------8<------------------------------------------------------

function files_identical($path1, $path2) {

  return (file_get_contents($path1) == file_get_contents($path2));

}

--------8<------------------------------------------------------

Note that I would like to compare any type of files (text and binary).

Thanks for any help,

You could use "md5_file" for this. Something like:

function files_identical($path1, $path2) {

  return (md5_file($path1) == md5_file($path2));

}
