Re: Comparing files

Quoting mathieu leddet <mathieu.leddet@mobilescope.com>:

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, -- Mathieu

You could use "md5_file" for this. Something like: function files_identical($path1, $path2) { return (md5_file($path1) == md5_file($path2)); }
