Answer 1

$stringA = "this is php programming language";
$stringB = "this is complete programming script in which java php and  all other minor languages include";

echo "string 1---->".$stringA."
";
echo "string 2---->".$stringB."
";
// changing string to arrays
$array1 = explode(' ', $stringA);
$array2 = explode(' ', $stringB);

// getting same element from two strings
$c = array_intersect($array1, $array2);
// changing array to the string
$d=implode(' ',$c);

echo "string same elements---> ".$d."
";


// getting difrent  element from two arrays
$result = array_diff($array2, $array1);
// changing array to the string
$zem = implode(' ',$result);

if (!empty($zem)) {
  echo "string diffrence---> ".$zem."
";
} else {
  echo "string diffrence--->both strings are same 
";
}

similar_text($stringA, $d, $p);
echo " similarity between the string is ".$p."% 
";
