Diff on what? I suppose the INI files are prime candidates, as well as whatever phpinfo spits out. Except that while I expect the HTML output of PHP info remains pretty consistent, I have my doubts that a line-by-line diff of two HTML files will yield the desired information in a readable format... Is there a way (without parsing the HTML of phpinfo()) to get the information phpinfo() puts out in a line by line plain text format?
