note 25703 added to function.strcmp

It's definitely worth noting that the return-values of strcmp() when used for i.e. password-checking is the oposite of that of the ==-operator. I.e.: $pw1 = "yeah"; $pw2 = "yeah"; if (strcmp($pw1, $pw2)) { // This returns false. // $pw1 and $pw2 are NOT the same. } else { // $pw1 and $pw2 are the same. } Where the use of the == operator would give us.: if ($pw1==$pw2) { // This returns true. // $pw1 and $pw2 are the same. } else { // $pw1 and $pw2 are NOT the same. } Additionally, to check if $pw1 and $pw2 are of the same type you can use the === operator. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25703 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25703 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25703
