xdiff_file_patch -- Patch a file with an unified diff

## Description

mixed xdiff_file_patch ( string file, string patch, string dest [, int flags] )

xdiff_file_patch() patches file file with unified patch in file patch and stores result in file dest.

flags can be either `XDIFF_PATCH_NORMAL` (default mode, normal patch) or `XDIFF_PATCH_REVERSE` (reversed patch).

Returns `FALSE` if an internal error happened, string with rejected chunks of patch or `TRUE` if patch has been successfully applied.

Example 1. xdiff_file_patch() example The following code applies unified diff to a file.
`<?php $old_version = 'my_script-1.0.php'; $patch = 'my_script.patch'; $errors = xdiff_file_patch($old_version, $patch, 'my_script-1.1.php'); if (is_string($errors)) { echo "Rejects:\n"; echo $errors; } ?>`

Example 2. Patch reversing example The following code reverses a patch.
`<?php $new_version = 'my_script-1.1.php'; $patch = 'my_script.patch'; $errors = xdiff_file_patch($new_version, $patch, 'my_script-1.0.php', XDIFF_PATCH_REVERSE); if (is_string($errors)) { echo "Rejects:\n"; echo $errors; } ?>`
