strnatcasecmp

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

strnatcasecmpCase insensitive string comparisons using a "natural order" algorithm

Description

int strnatcasecmp ( string $str1 , string $str2 )

This function implements a comparison algorithm that orders alphanumeric strings in the way a human being would. The behaviour of this function is similar to strnatcmp(), except that the comparison is not case sensitive. For more information see: Martin Pool's » Natural Order String Comparison page.

Parameters

str1

The first string.

str2

The second string.

Return Values

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.

There seems to be a bug in the localization for strnatcmp and strnatcasecmp. I searched the reported bugs and found a few entries which were up to four years old (but the problem still exists when using swedish characters).

These functions might work instead.
<?php
function _strnatcasecmp($left$right) {
  return 
_strnatcmp(strtolower($left), strtolower($right));
}

function 
_strnatcmp($left$right) {
  while((
strlen($left) > 0) && (strlen($right) > 0)) {
    if(
preg_match('/^([^0-9]*)([0-9].*)$/Us'$left$lMatch)) {
     
$lTest $lMatch[1];
     
$left $lMatch[2];
    } else {
     
$lTest $left;
     
$left '';
    }
    if(
preg_match('/^([^0-9]*)([0-9].*)$/Us'$right$rMatch)) {
     
$rTest $rMatch[1];
     
$right $rMatch[2];
    } else {
     
$rTest $right;
     
$right '';
    }
   
$test strcmp($lTest$rTest);
    if(
$test != 0) {
      return 
$test;
    }
    if(
preg_match('/^([0-9]+)([^0-9].*)?$/Us'$left$lMatch)) {
     
$lTest intval($lMatch[1]);
     
$left $lMatch[2];
    } else {
     
$lTest 0;
    }
    if(
preg_match('/^([0-9]+)([^0-9].*)?$/Us'$right$rMatch)) {
     
$rTest intval($rMatch[1]);
     
$right $rMatch[2];
    } else {
     
$rTest 0;
    }
   
$test $lTest $rTest;
    if(
$test != 0) {
      return 
$test;
    }
  }
  return 
strcmp($left$right);
}
?>

The code is not optimized. It was just made to solve my problem.

The function treats '_' as after letters and numbers when it would be placed before logically.

Use strnatcmp to avoid the _ problem as mentioned below;
