PHP Code Comparator is a command line script allowing to compare different versions of a library, framework or package. It will detect code 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 will help you achieve that.

Instead of using a diff tool, you can simply use this tool. 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. Finally, a summary will be displayed showing the differences that have been detected.

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.
