Generally patch files are knows as diff files and they contains .diff extension. They are used to patch the difference between old and new file so that you can easily apply the patch.

Patch can be generated by several tools over several systems. Here is a document for that

I suggest you to use Mac/Linux Command Line ,

generate a diff file

svn diff filename.php > filename.diff

apply patch

patch -p0 < patch.diff
