strnatcmp

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

strnatcmp使用自然排序算法比较字符串

说明

strnatcmp ( string $str1 , string $str2 ) : int

该函数实现了以人类习惯对数字型字符串进行排序的比较算法,这就是"自然顺序"。注意该比较区分大小写。

参数

str1

第一个字符串。

str2

第二个字符串。

返回值

与其他字符串比较函数类似,如果 str1 小于 str2 返回 < 0; 如果 str1 大于 str2 返回 > 0;如果两者相等,返回 0。

范例

下面的例子展示了该算法与计算机常规字符串比较算法( strcmp() 所使用的)的区别:

<?php
$arr1 
$arr2 = array("img12.png""img10.png""img2.png""img1.png");
echo 
"Standard string comparison\n";
usort($arr1"strcmp");
print_r($arr1);
echo 
"\nNatural order string comparison\n";
usort($arr2"strnatcmp");
print_r($arr2);
?>

以上例程会输出:

Standard string comparison
Array
(
    [0] => img1.png
    [1] => img10.png
    [2] => img12.png
    [3] => img2.png
)

Natural order string comparison
Array
(
    [0] => img1.png
    [1] => img2.png
    [2] => img10.png
    [3] => img12.png
)

Some more remarkable outcomes:

var_dump(strnatcmp("0.15m", "0.2m"));
int(1)

var_dump(strnatcmp("0.15m", "0.20m"));
int(-1)

It's not about localisation:

var_dump(strnatcmp("0,15m", "0,2m"));
int(1)

var_dump(strnatcmp("0,15m", "0,20m"));
int(-1)

This function has some interesting behaviour on strings consisting of mixed numbers and letters.

One may expect that such a mixed string would be treated as alpha-numeric, but that is not true.

var_dump(strnatcmp('23','123')); →
int(-1)
As expected, 23<123   (even though first digit is higher, overall number is smaller)

var_dump(strnatcmp('yz','xyz')); →
int(1)
As expected, yz>xyz   (string comparison, irregardless of string length)

var_dump(strnatcmp('2x','12y')); →
int(-1)
Remarkable, 2x<12y    (does a numeric comparison)

var_dump(strnatcmp('20x','12y'));
int(1)
Remarkable, 20x>12y    (does a numeric comparison)

It seems to be splitting what is being compared into runs of numbers and letters, and then comparing each run in isolation, until it has an ordering difference.

Can also be used with combination of a compare for an array nested value, like

<?php
$array
= array(
   
"city" => "xyz",
   
"names" => array(
        array(
           
"name" => "Ana2",
           
"id" => 1
       
) ,
        array(
           
"name" => "Ana1",
           
"id" => 2
       
)
    )
);
usort($array["names"], function ($a, $b)    {    return strnatcmp($a['name'], $b['name']);} );

If you want to compare $_SESSION variables to a string use this

<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['usertype']))
{   
     echo
"usertype " .$_SESSION['usertype'];
               
    
$ut = $_SESSION['usertype'];
               
     if(
strnatcmp($ut,"admin"))
     {
          echo
"hello admin";
     }
}
?>

There seems to be a bug in the localization for strnatcmp and strnatcasecmp. I searched the reported bugs and found a few entries which were up to four years old (but the problem still exists when using swedish characters).

These functions might work instead.
<?php
function _strnatcasecmp($left, $right) {
  return
_strnatcmp(strtolower($left), strtolower($right));
}

function
_strnatcmp($left, $right) {
  while((
strlen($left) > 0) && (strlen($right) > 0)) {
    if(
preg_match('/^([^0-9]*)([0-9].*)$/Us', $left, $lMatch)) {
     
$lTest = $lMatch[1];
     
$left = $lMatch[2];
    } else {
     
$lTest = $left;
     
$left = '';
    }
    if(
preg_match('/^([^0-9]*)([0-9].*)$/Us', $right, $rMatch)) {
     
$rTest = $rMatch[1];
     
$right = $rMatch[2];
    } else {
     
$rTest = $right;
     
$right = '';
    }
   
$test = strcmp($lTest, $rTest);
    if(
$test != 0) {
      return
$test;
    }
    if(
preg_match('/^([0-9]+)([^0-9].*)?$/Us', $left, $lMatch)) {
     
$lTest = intval($lMatch[1]);
     
$left = $lMatch[2];
    } else {
     
$lTest = 0;
    }
    if(
preg_match('/^([0-9]+)([^0-9].*)?$/Us', $right, $rMatch)) {
     
$rTest = intval($rMatch[1]);
     
$right = $rMatch[2];
    } else {
     
$rTest = 0;
    }
   
$test = $lTest - $rTest;
    if(
$test != 0) {
      return
$test;
    }
  }
  return
strcmp($left, $right);
}
?>

The code is not optimized. It was just made to solve my problem.
