The sample above is only true on some platforms that only use a simple 'C' locale, where individual bytes are considered as complete characters that are converted to lowercase before being differentiated.
Other locales (see LC_COLLATE and LC_ALL) use the difference of collation order of characters, where characters may be groups of bytes taken from the input strings, or simply return -1, 0, or 1 as the collation order is not simply defined by comparing individual characters but by more complex rules.
Don't base your code on a specific non null value returned by strcmp() or strcasecmp(): it is not portable. Just consider the sign of the result and be sure to use the correct locale!
strcasecmp
説明
int strcasecmp ( string str1, string str2 )str1 が str2 より 小さい場合は負、str1 が str2 より大きい場合は正、等しい場合は 0 を返します。
preg_match()、 strcmp()、 substr()、 stristr()、 strncasecmp() および strstr() も参照ください。
