hi

I want to open two .doc [ms-word] files in cpp program using fstream.
and compare two files contents for every character or every line and display the out put both files are equal or not.

when i tried to open a .doc file and display the contents in cpp program it converted to the machine language and give the message is both files are not equal.

and i need this solution in php.

in php i tried it compare the .doc file properties like created date time and author name and display files are not equal, it does not compare the contents of the file. i need to compare only contents.

please give the solutions.

Thanks for advance

cheers

try using CRC or MD5 checksums :

Code:

$file_string = file_get_contents($file);
$crc = crc32($file_string);

now compare the checksums of both files
