@coderjoe: Up until you mentioned it, we were using strcoll() to do this, since that is PHP's locale-specific version; however, in SVN, I just changed the behavior of strcoll() to avoid using this built-in but non-transparent JS locale-aware sort function in favor of letting strcoll()'s behavior be configurable through setlocale() (which I also just modified--LC_COLLATE to be specific). This will let people set the locale to whatever locale they wish (though we currently only have an English collating function implemented in setlocale()).

Couldn't this use ECMA-262's String.prototype.localeCompare function?

<pre><code>
function strcmp ( str1, str2 ) {
    // Binary safe string comparison  
    // using ECMA-262 section 15.5.4.9
    // String.prototype.localeCompare    
    return str1.localeCompare(str2);
}
</code></pre>

Here's a related one...

<pre><code>
function strncmp ( str1, str2, lgth ) {
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // +   original by: Waldo Malqui Silva
    // +      input by: Steve Hilder
    // +   improved by: Kevin van Zonneveld (http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net)
    // +    revised by: gorthaur

    s1 = str1.substr(0, lgth);
    s2 = str2.substr(0, lgth);
    return ( ( s1 == s2 ) ? 0 : ( ( s1 &amp;gt; s2 ) ? 1 : -1 ) );
}
alert(strncmp('aaa', 'aab', 2)); // 0
alert(strncmp('aaa', 'aab', 3)); // -1</code></pre>

@ gorthaur: I must admit I personally never use this function in PHP. Thanks for improving php.js.

You gotta be kidding! This code is unbelievably silly and displays gross lack of understanding string comparison. Try these test cases
<pre><code>
strcmp( 'waldo', 'owald' );
strcmp( 'owald', 'waldo' );
</code></pre>
which should return +1 and -1.
This should work:
<pre><code>
function strcmp ( str1, str2 ) {
    return ( ( str1 == str2 ) ? 0 : ( ( str1 &amp;gt; str2 ) ? 1 : -1 ) );
}
</code></pre>

@ Steve Hilder: I must say I'm not very familiar with this specific function, but I did some reading up on it, and I think I agree that in it's current form it makes no sense. I've updated it so calculate every character in both strings, this is better right.

Err... this doesn't work at all; it only evaluates the first character.

<pre><code>strcmp('test', 'tomato') = 0 /* incorrect */</code></pre>
