12.2. String Comparison
These functions compare one string to another. They all return integers. A negative integer means the first string comes before the second. Zero means the strings are equal.

Listing 12.17. strcasecmp
<?php
$first = "abc";
$second = "aBc";
if(strcasecmp($first, $second) == 0)

print("strings are equal");
}
else
{
print("strings are not equal");
}
?>
