comparing 2 images in PHP

I am aware that there is one more question like mine, but I just thought mine was after all a bit different.

I have to be able to establish if the images are very similar or entirely different...
have a look at the following two images:
lighter image darker image

The first image is a bit lighter than the second image. You can see that on black striped fish in the middle.

So, comparing the md5 hashes doesn't really help. Is there anyother clever way to do it?
thanks!

Try this .Someone wrote open source code .

http://compareimages.nikhazy-dizajn.hu/

Compare Images PHP Class: This PHP Class compares two images and returns a number representing how similar they are. It is capable to tell if two pictures are similar even if they have different sizes or aspect ratio. Smaller number means the images are more similar. Numbers more than 10 means they are most likely not the same image.

this way is useful

$img1 = md5(file_get_content($image1))
...
if($img1 == $img2){
..
}

I am not sure if it would help, but I think if you run the images through GD image processing, it would really help you there!
