PHP strcmp() Function

Comparing two strings is one of the most commonly used string operation in programming and web
development practices. The strcmp() is an inbuilt function in PHP and is used to compare two
strings. This function is case-sensitive which points that capital and small cases will be treated
differently, during comparison. This function compares two strings and tells us that whether the first
string is greater or smaller than the second string or equals to the second string.
Syntax:

strcmp($string1, $string2)

Parameters: This function accepts two parameters which are described below:

$string1 (mandatory): This parameter refers to the first string to be used in the comparison
$string2 (mandatory): This parameter refers to the second string to be used in the comparison.
Return Values: The function returns a random integer value depending on the condition of match,
which is given by:

Returns 0 if the strings are equal.


Returns a negative value (<0), if $string2 is greater than $string1.
Returns a positive value (>0) if $string1 is greater than $string2.

Example

<?php

// PHP program to illustrate the working of strcmp()


$string1 = "Welcome to GFG";
$string2 = "Welcome to GeeksforGeeks";
$string3 = "Welcome to GFG";

// In this case both the strings are equal


print_r(strcmp($string1, $string3));
echo "\n";

// In this case the first is greater


print_r(strcmp($string2, $string1));
echo "\n";

// In this case the second is greater


print_r(strcmp($string3, $string2))

?>
Output:

0
31
-31
