Comparing text files together

Can someone recommend a program where I can compare two files (like text files, php files, etc) and the program will highlight or outline or tell me what differences there are between the two files.

This is used because I just got a lot of programming stuff done and I want to see exactly how the programmer did it, but I don't want to open up thousands of different files to look through them. 🙂
 
winmerge or kdiff will work. it's good to have both, actually.

i think you may prefer winmerge most of the time, however.

i've used winmerge a ton on a large codebase, it works great, especially after modifying it to open files at the correct line inside UltraEdit, to which I submitted a patch for.

Araxis Merge is excellent, but a bit expensive.

QFT, especially their filesystem comparer. Very good for merging branches.

TortoiseSVN also comes with a very competent visual differ although I don't know if it comes seperately or if you have to install the whole thing.

And, of course, good ol' diff.
