    Example #1 xdiff_file_bpatch() example

    The following code applies binary diff to a file. 

    <?php$old_version = 'archive-1.0.tgz';$patch = 'archive.bpatch';$result = xdiff_file_bpatch($old_version, $patch, 'archive-1.1.tgz');if ($result) {   echo "File patched";} else {   echo "File couldn't be patched";}?>

    Notes

    Note:

    Both files (file and patch) will be loaded into memory so ensure that your memory_limit is set high enough.
