A PHP function to compare strings case-insensitive. Also see strstr.
stristr -- Case-insensitive strstr()
Description[edit]
string stristr ( string haystack, string needle )
Returns all of haystack from the first occurrence of needle to the end. needle and haystack are examined in a case-insensitive manner.
If needle is not found, returns FALSE.
If needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.
