strcoll

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5, PHP 5)

strcoll — Locale-basierter Zeichenkettenvergleich

Beschreibung

int strcoll ( string $str1 , string $str2 )

Beachten Sie, dass der Vergleich Groß- und Kleinschreibung berücksichtigt. Im Gegensatz zu strcmp() ist die Funktion zudem nicht binary safe.

strcoll() legt dem Vergleich die aktuellen locale-Angabe zu Grunde. Ist deren Wert C oder POSIX, verhält sich diese Funktion äquivalent zu strcmp().

Parameter-Liste

str1

Die erste Zeichenkette.

str2

Die zweite Zeichenkette.

Rückgabewerte

Gibt einen Wert <0 zurück, wenn str1 kürzer ist als str2 , einen Wert >0, wenn str1 länger ist als str2 , und 0, wenn sie gleich sind.

ChangeLog

Version Beschreibung
4.2.3 Die Funktion ist jetzt auch unter Win32-Systemen nutzbar.

strcoll()'s behavior is sometimes a little bit confusing. It depends on LC_COLLATE in your locale.

<?php

 $a
= 'a';
 
$b = 'A';

 print
strcmp ($a, $b) . "\n"; // prints 1

setlocale (LC_COLLATE, 'C');
 print
"C: " . strcoll ($a, $b) . "\n"; // prints 1

 
setlocale (LC_COLLATE, 'de_DE');
 print
"de_DE: " . strcoll ($a, $b) . "\n"; // prints -2

 
setlocale (LC_COLLATE, 'de_CH');
print
"de_CH: " . strcoll ($a, $b) . "\n"; // prints -2

 
setlocale (LC_COLLATE, 'en_US');
 print
"en_US: " . strcoll ($a, $b) . "\n"; // prints -2

?>

This is useful e. g. if want to sort an array by using strcoll:

<?php

 $a
= array ('a', 'A', 'ä', 'Ä', 'b', 'B');

 
setlocale (LC_COLLATE, 'C');
 
usort ($a, 'strcoll');
 
print_r ($a);

?>

This is like sort($a):
 Array
 (
    [0] => A
    [1] => B
  [2] => a
    [3] => b
    [4] => Ä
    [5] => ä
 )

<?php

 setlocale
(LC_COLLATE, 'de_DE');
usort ($a, 'strcoll');
 
print_r ($a)

?>

This is completely different:
 Array
 (
    [0] => a
    [1] => A
    [2] => ä
    [3] => Ä
    [4] => b
  [5] => B
 )

Note that some platforms implement strcmp() and strcasecmp() according to the current locale when strings are not binary equal, so that strcmp() and strcoll() will return the same value! This depends on how the PHP strcmp() function is compiled (i.e. if it uses the platform specific strcmp() found in its standard library!).
In that case, the only difference between strcoll() and strcmp() is that strcoll() may return 0 for distinct strings(i.e. consider strings are equal) while strcmp() will differentiate them if they have distinct binary encoding! This typically occurs on Asian systems.
What you can be sure is that strcmp() will always differentiate strings that are encoded differently, but the relative order may still use the current locale setting for collation order!
