Case insensitive string comparison

by

This is fairly simple; you just need to call strtolower() on both variables.

If you need to deal with Unicode or international character sets, you can use mb_strtolower().

Please note that other answers suggest using strcasecmp()—that function does not handle multibyte characters, so results for any UTF-8 string will be bogus.
