note 98824 added to function.strcmp

To test if 2 strings are exactly correct, use the operator === instead of strcmp. Test battery : //Starting expression : Expressions : $a="Testing strcmp"; $b="Testing strcmp"; //Key legend 0 for if(strcmp($a,$b) === 0); 1 for if($a === $b); For 5000 iterations : Test #1 : Array ( [0] => 0.145534038544 [1] => 0.109009027481 ) Test #2 : Array ( [0] => 0.145094871521 [1] => 0.108952999115 ) Test #3 : Array ( [0] => 0.145040988922 [1] => 0.109071016312 ) Test #4 : Array ( [0] => 0.144774913788 [1] => 0.108735084534 ) Test #5 : Array ( [0] => 0.145333051682 [1] => 0.10866189003 ) about 7µs faster for each iterations. Use strcmp to calculate "gap" between string. (e.g. strcmp('a','d') = -3 (NOT return -1 as I saw in other notes) ---- Server IP: 89.31.146.176 Probable Submitter: 85.116.42.193 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98824 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98824/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98824/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98824/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98824/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98824/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98824/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98824 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98824 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
