note 62280 added to function.strtolower

I've seen this as a common use from script developers, so I would like to share the alternative way to compare 2 string (CASE INSENSITIVE) without using strtolower for faster process. Use strcasecmp() for comparison purpose rather than comparing uncertain case of 2 string variables, because strcasecmp() is approximately 60% faster, moreover, the greater its string length the greater the difference,! Ex. case : $var1; -> could be a mixture of upper & lower case $var2; -> could be a mixture of upper & lower case To compare whether $var1 is exactly the same as $var2 (case insensitive manner): Use -> if (strcasecmp($var1,$var2)==0) rather than -> if (strtolower($var1)==strtolower($var2)) ---- Server IP: 202.158.56.242 Probable Submitter: 61.5.0.143 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtolower.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+62280 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62280&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62280&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62280&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62280&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62280&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62280&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62280&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+62280&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
