Bug #74047 [NEW]: No way to compare multibyte UTF-8 strings??

From: teo8976 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.6.30 Package: *Unicode Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:No way to compare multibyte UTF-8 strings?? Description: ------------ Just like there is a strcmp() function for comparing strings byte-by-byte, there should exist a mb_strcmp() function to compare multibyte strings according to a given encoding, e.g. 'UTF-8'. Actually, it should be according to an encoding and collation. And please don't call it a feature request. It's simply RIDICULOUS that, at the very least, UTF-8 string comparison is not available in 20fucking17. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74047&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74047&r=mysqlcfg
