Yasir Siddiqui

This class can compare two URLs and show the differences.

It can parse two given URLs and compare them to see if they are different.

The class ignores the order of query parameters so it can determine if the URLs are the same even if the order of the parameters is different.

It returns a string with the details of which parts of the URLs may be different.

Number 5

Prize: One copy of the Zend Studio		 Sometimes it is necessary to compare two URLs to determine if they represent the same page.

Comparing the URLs character by character may not be enough to determine if the URLs are different because they may represent the same URL with query parameters order switched.

This class can address that situation by parsing the URLs and comparing the query parameters one by one regardless of their order in the URLs.

Details

url-difference
==============
This class can calculate difference between two Urls. Generally it is difficult to find
differences between two long URLs containing key value pairs. You have to "eye-ball" each 
URL and find difference especially when two urls have different parameters ordering.

See example.php for more details.
