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

I'm a little late (then again I wasn't a programmer yet in 2009 :-) No one mentioned this yet, but you can simply use the operators which you use on number as well.

< > <= >= == != and more

For example:

'a' > 'b' returns false

'a' < 'b' returns true

There is a flaw, which you can find in the comments below.
