Compare two version strings in PHP

Question

How to compare two strings in version format? such that:

version_compare(\"2.5.1\",  \"2.5.2\") => -1 (smaller)
version_compare(\"2.5.2\",  \"2.5.2\") =&         


        

Answer 1

Also, you can use the PHP built-in function as below by passing an extra argument to the version_compare()

if(version_compare('2.5.2', '2.5.1', '>')) {
 print "First arg is greater than second arg";
}
