PHP Code Comparator is Command Line Script allowing to compare different versions of a library, framework or package and detect changes in terms of class existence or method definitions.
If you ever wanted to have a way to quickly identify what classes have been altered or methods have been changed between two different versions of the same package, PHP Code Comparator might be the tool you were looking for.
Instead of using a diff tool, you can simply use this PHP command line script. It will basically parse a folder recursively, detect any defined classes and extract the various methods and parameters. This will then be performed on the second version of your library. Then, a summary will be displayed showing the differences that have been detected.
The parsing is using the PHP tokenizer (www.php.net/tokenizer) and it will detect classes, interfaces, methods and parameters.
Also, this tool will detect if a class has been removed, if new classes have been added, if methods have been removed or added and also if the signature of a method has changed.
Where can I download it ?
You can browse the code and download it from github.com.
http://github.com/alfallouji/PHP-Code-Comparator/
You can also directly get the source code from the git repository.
git clone git://github.com/alfallouji/PHP-Code-Comparator.git
How can I use it ?
This tool is a simple Command Line Script. Therefore, it can be used by just using the php interpreter.

-c, --classes Compare classes
-m, --methods Compare methods
-a, --all Compare all
-h, --help print a summary of the options
Example: php compare.php /var/www/cms1.0/api /var/www/cms2.0/api -a
