Hi:
first of all, yes , you are right about the reverse order thing:
and then, they are not equal:
<?php
echo "strncmp:\n";
var_dump(strncmp("laruence", "nce", -10));
var_dump(strncmp("ecneural", "ecn", 10));
var_dump(strncmp("ecneural", "ecn", 3));
var_dump(strncmp("laruence", "nce", -3));
?>
will output:
strncmp:
int(5)
int(5)
int(0)
int(0)
thanks
