# strcoll

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5)

strcoll -- Locale based string comparison

## Description

int strcoll ( string str1, string str2)

Returns < 0 if `str1` is less than `str2`; > 0 if `str1` is greater than `str2`, and 0 if they are equal. strcoll() uses the current locale for doing the comparisons. If the current locale is C or POSIX, this function is equivalent to strcmp().

Note that this comparison is case sensitive, and unlike strcmp() this function is not binary safe.

> Note: strcoll() was added in PHP 4.0.5, but was not enabled for win32 until 4.2.3.
