strnatcmp — 使用自然排序算法比较字符串
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。
string1第一个字符串。
string2第二个字符串。
如果 string1 小于 string2，则返回小于 0 的值；
如果 string1 大于 string2，则返回大于 0 的值；
如果它们相等，则返回 0。
除了它的符号外，不能从返回值中可靠推断出任何特定的含义。
| 版本 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 8.2.0 |
当字符串长度不相等时，此函数不再保证返回 strlen($string1) - strlen($string2)，
而可能返回 -1 或 1。

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($arr2);
?>以上示例会输出：
Standard string comparison
Array
(
[0] => img1.png
[1] => img10.png
[2] => img12.png
[3] => img2.png
)
Natural order string comparison
Array
(
[0] => img1.png
[1] => img2.png
[2] => img10.png
[3] => img12.png
)
Can also be used with combination of a compare for an array nested value, like<?php$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'], $b['name']);} );There seems to be a bug in the localization for strnatcmp and strnatcasecmp. I searched the reported bugs and found a few entries which were up to four years old (but the problem still exists when using swedish characters).These functions might work instead.<?phpfunction _strnatcasecmp($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.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.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)
