How to compare 2 strings alphabetically in PHP?

Question

What the title says. Specifically if I have

$array1[\'name\'] = \'zoo\';
$array2[\'name\'] = \'fox\';

How can I determine that alphabetically <

Answer 1

You can compare both strings with strcmp:

Returns < 0 if str1 is less than str2; > 0 if str1 is greater than str2, and 0 if they are equal.
