RE: [PHP] Case insensitive string comparison!

Anchoring the beginning of the pattern aswell (with a ^) should result in an identical solution to the one using strcasecmp(). I haven't compared operations like this performance-wise, anyone who has? If the regexp is dog-slow, I can always re-evaluate my personal opinion :) Regards, Peter
