strnatcmp

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

strnatcmp — String comparisons using a "natural order" algorithm

说明

int strnatcmp ( string $str1 , string $str2 )

This function implements a comparison algorithm that orders alphanumeric strings in the way a human being would, this is described as a "natural ordering". Note that this comparison is case sensitive.

参数

str1

The first string.

str2

The second string.

返回值

Similar to other string comparison functions, this one returns < 0 if str1 is less than str2 ; > 0 if str1 is greater than str2 , and 0 if they are equal.

范例

An example of the difference between this algorithm and the regular computer string sorting algorithms (used in strcmp()) can be seen below:

<?php
$arr1 
$arr2 = array("img12.png""img10.png""img2.png""img1.png");
echo 
"Standard string comparison\n";
usort($arr1"strcmp");
print_r($arr1);
echo 
"\nNatural order string comparison\n";
usort($arr2"strnatcmp");
print_r($arr2);
?>

上例将输出:

Standard string comparison
Array
(
    [0] => img1.png
    [1] => img10.png
    [2] => img12.png
    [3] => img2.png
)

Natural order string comparison
Array
(
    [0] => img1.png
    [1] => img2.png
    [2] => img10.png
    [3] => img12.png
)
