PHP strcoll() Function


Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP strcoll() Function.

The PHP strcoll() function compares two strings based on locale.

Note: This function is a case-sensitive but not binary-safe.

This PHP function uses the current locale to perform the comparisons. If the current locale is C or POSIX, then this built-in PHP function is equivalent to strcmp() function.

Following below is the syntax to use this function -

int strcoll(string  $str1, string $str2)

   echo "<br> The result is ";
