[Resolved] Case sensitivity

[Davy]

Hey guys,

<?php

$email = "DavH";

if ($email == "davh")
 {
 echo "Match";
 }
else
 {
 echo "No Match!";
 }

?>

This is a simplified version of what I'm doing. I'm actually comparing an entry in a db with a GET variable but I wanna know why it is returning "No Match"?!!

It matches, surely? How can I compare them regardless of thier case?

Hello mate, try this.

<?php

$email = "DavH";

if (strtolower($email) == strtolower("davh"))
 {
 echo "Match";
 }
else
 {
 echo "No Match!";
 }

?>

Thanks!

On another forum I frequent I was recommended the eregi() but I've never used it so I may be back asking for moe help 😛

If you're going to use regular expressions I'd go with the PCRE functions. They might not be POSIX but they're quicker.
