How to compare changes in database
#1

[eluser]regal2157[/eluser]
Hey guys,

I am wondering what is the best way to compare a string with what is in the database.

Example (Before I go further, let's just say I'm thinking of a wiki edit style)

Let's say I pull a description from my database, and put it in a <textarea>. The user submits this with a change. And to make it a bit more complicated, this edit is in the middle of a string.

So the user changes:
"Codeigniter is a free framework."

To:
"CodeIgniter is an awesome framework."

I would want to record the changes such as:
"Field changed... "...is a free fram..." to "...is an awesome fram..."

Or something of the sorts. I could compare the two if they're the same, but I don't want to make an over-complex function, or re-invent the wheel.. So how do you achieve this?
