(PHP 5, PHP 7)
substr_compare — Binary safe comparison of two strings from an offset, up to length characters
$main_str
, string $str
, int $offset
[, int $length
[, bool $case_insensitivity
= FALSE
]] ) : int
substr_compare() compares main_str
from position offset
with str
up to length
characters.
main_str
The main string being compared.
str
The secondary string being compared.
offset
The start position for the comparison. If negative, it starts counting from the end of the string.
length
The length of the comparison. The default value is the largest of the
length of the str
compared to the length of
main_str
minus the
offset
.
case_insensitivity
If case_insensitivity
is TRUE
, comparison is
case insensitive.
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 offset
is equal to (prior to PHP 7.2.18, 7.3.5) or
greater than the length of main_str
, or the
length
is set and is less than 0,
(or, prior to PHP 5.5.11, less than 1)
substr_compare() prints a warning and returns
FALSE
.

Example #1 A substr_compare() example
<?php
echo substr_compare("abcde", "bc", 1, 2); // 0
echo substr_compare("abcde", "de", -2, 2); // 0
echo substr_compare("abcde", "bcg", 1, 2); // 0
echo substr_compare("abcde", "BC", 1, 2, true); // 0
echo substr_compare("abcde", "bc", 1, 3); // 1
echo substr_compare("abcde", "cd", 1, 2); // -1
echo substr_compare("abcde", "abc", 5, 1); // warning
