Are you absolutely certain about that? echo strcmp('These are nearly equal', 'These are almost equal'), "\n"; echo strcmp('different', 'unequal'), "\n"; echo strcmp('b', 'a'), "<br />\n"; Result: 13 -17 1 The description of the function merely says that the result is <0, 0 or >0 -- it makes no promises about the actual value when it is non-zero.
