This is Binary safe case-insensitive compare two strings by using strcasecmp function.
echo strcasecmp("Hello world","HELLO WORLD");
Output is equal to
- 0 : if both strings are equal or matching
- < 0 : if string 1 is less than string 2
- > 0 : if string 1 is greater than string 1
For case sensitive string matching use strcmp function
Here is a sample code using strcasecomp function to check two strings.
$str1="Hello World";
$str2="hello world";
echo strcasecmp($str1,$str2); // Output is 0
if(strcasecmp($str1,$str2)==0){
echo "Both strings are matching";
}else{
echo "Both strings are different ";
}
Output is
Both strings are matching
Example 2
$str1="Hello";
$str2="hello world";
echo strcasecmp($str1,$str2); // Output is -6
if(strcasecmp($str1,$str2)==0){
echo "Both strings are matching";
}else{
echo "Both strings are different ";
}
Output is
Both strings are different
Example 3
$str1="Hello World";
$str2="hello";
echo strcasecmp($str1,$str2); // Output is 6
if(strcasecmp($str1,$str2)==0){
echo "Both strings are matching";
}else{
echo "Both strings are different ";
}
Both strings are different
