Need a program to compare 2 php files and find differences

[BlackStorm]

Hey,
I need a program that can compare 2 PHP files and find the differences.
I have a very large file for HR that is causing an error so I need to find out the differences.
I have been adding and removing hacks but I cant find the one causing the problem.

If anyone knows of a program that can help I would appreciate it

I would find the handy also. I have been using UltraEdit a text editor. But I would like something a cleaner to user. Sure would make skinning some programs much easier.

Well I have a few ideas you could use.

I use edit+ and macromedia Dreamweaver MX for my coding. I like the way they color code the content. Because they are diffrent I find it easy to pick out the diffrence in the two pages if I'm debugging

I found a great program.
Called beyond compare 2
Really helped me find the differences between two files

Thanks

Hey,
You can find it here:

Its a premium script but I only found that out, it didnt say when I first downloaded and it just said last night my trial period started then...
So not sure how the license is working

I know there are a few programs that do the same thing because I looked around for ages one day when I needed this

Or login on the SSH prompt and type diff. Of course you need to know how to read the output

Does that actually compare the files and show you the differences?
Is it free or do you have to pay for it?

Beyond Compare is a good program as well.
