Binary safe comparison of 2 strings from an offset, up to length characters

说明

int substr_compare ( string $main_str , string $str , int $offset [, int $length [, bool $case_insensitivity ]] )

substr_compare() compares main_str from position offset with str up to length characters.

参数

main_str
str
offset: The start position for the comparison. If negative, it starts counting from the end of the string.
length: The length of the comparison.
case_insensitivity: If case_insensitivity is TRUE, comparison is case insensitive.

返回值

Returns < 0 if main_str from position offset is less than str , > 0 if it is greater than str , and 0 if they are equal. If length is equal or greater than length of main_str and length is set, substr_compare() prints warning and returns FALSE.
