DESCRIPTION

	Patches  a  $str  string  with	an  unified  patch in $patch parameter and returns the result. $patch has to be an unified diff created by

		-$flags can be either XDIFF_PATCH_NORMAL (default mode, normal patch) or XDIFF_PATCH_REVERSE (reversed patch).	Starting from ver-
		sion 1.5.0, you can also use binary OR to enable XDIFF_PATCH_IGNORESPACE flag.
