PHP determines whether strings are equal

PHP string comparison functions mainly include strcmp, strcasecmp, strnatcmp, strnatcasecmp, and their usage is basically similar.(Recommended learning:PHP programming from entry to proficiency)

//按字节对字符串进行比较 int strcmp(string str1,string str2) //同上，但是不区分大小写 int strcasecmp(string str1,string str2) //按“自然排序”进行比较 int strnatcmp(string str1,string str2) //同上，但是不区分大小写 int strnatcasecmp(string str1,string str2)

The return results of these four functions are the same

If str1 Equal to str2, return 0

If str1 is greater than str2, return 1

If str1 is less than str2, return -1

Natural sorting and dictionary sorting

Dictionary Sorting: Compare byte by byte according to byte ASCII

Natural sorting: According to human thinking, for example, "2">"11" in byte sorting, while "2"< "11"

Among the previous four comparison functions, you only need to understand what these two sortings are, and you can distinguish the four functions clearly. To give the most intuitive example: comparison of

hello11 and hello2, in dictionary sorting, hello11

'; //-1 echo strcasecmp($str1,$str3).'
'; //0 echo strnatcmp($str1,$str2).'
'; //1 echo strnatcasecmp($str2,$str4).'
'; //0
