<?php $a = "PHP is a scripting language."; $b = "PHP is a general-purpose language."; print('strcmp($a, $b): '.strcmp($a, $b)."\n"); print('strcmp($b, $a): '.strcmp($b, $a)."\n"); print('strcmp($a, $a): '.strcmp($a, $a)."\n"); ?>
This script will print:
strcmp($a, $b): 1 strcmp($b, $a): -1 strcmp($a, $a): 0
