strcoll

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5, PHP 5, PHP 7)

strcoll — Locale based string comparison

Description

strcoll ( string $str1 , string $str2 ) : int

Note that this comparison is case sensitive, and unlike strcmp() this function is not binary safe.

strcoll() uses the current locale for doing the comparisons. If the current locale is C or POSIX, this function is equivalent to strcmp().

Parameters

str1

The first string.

str2

The second string.

Return Values

Returns < 0 if str1 is less than str2; > 0 if str1 is greater than str2, and 0 if they are equal.

Changelog

Version Description
4.2.3 This function now works on win32.
