For those without gmp support :

$hamming_distance = count(array_diff_assoc(str_split($string1), str_split($string2)));

And if you are not sure if your strings have equal length :

$hamming_distance = count(array_diff_assoc(str_split(str_pad($string1,strlen($string2)-strlen($string1),' ')), str_split(str_pad($string2,strlen($string1)-strlen($string2),' '))));

<?php
$hamdist
= gmp_hamdist(-100, -10); // 4
$hamdist = gmp_hamdist(100, 10); // 5
?>

The function works great with negative numbers.
