Comparing uuids for equality (in php)

Question

What is the right way to check for equality of 2 uuids in PHP? I need to check 2 variables which have uuid values and act upon the result. I tried strcmp() but that did not yield the right value.

Thanks! mmiz

Answer 1

strcmp() works fine for comparing strings. If you claim otherwise, you would need to provide a self contained fully running code sample to prove it. My point is, you've made a mistake elsewhere.

Personally, I would just use the strict (===) comparison operator though

if ($a === $b)
