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 often use natsort (Natural Sort), since I usually just want to preserve the array for later use anyway.

Example:

natsort($unsorted_array);

var_dump($usorted_array); // will now be sorted.
