php中compare函数,php版本比较函数version_compare() | 学步园

php中比较php版本，一般用version_compare()函数，帮助文档见：http://php.net/manual/en/function.version-compare.php

用途：Compares two "PHP-standardized" version number

strings。

语法：

version_compare

( string

$version1

, string

$version2

[, string

$operator

] )

具体描述：version_compare()

compares two

"PHP-standardized"

version number strings. This is useful if you would like to write

programs

working only on some versions of PHP.

The function first replaces _

, -

and

+

with a dot .

in the version

strings and also inserts dots .

before and after any

non number so that for example '4.3.2RC1' becomes '4.3.2.RC.1'. Then

it

splits the results like if you were using explode('.', $ver). Then it

compares the parts starting from left to right. If a part contains

special version strings these are handled in the following order:

any string not found in this list

<

dev

< alpha

=

a

< beta

=

b

< RC

=

rc

< #

<

pl

= p

. This way not only versions

with different levels like '4.1' and '4.1.2' can be compared but also

any

PHP specific version containing development state.

其中第三个可选参数是比较符：

If you specify the third optional operator

argument, you can test for a particular relationship. The

possible operators are: <

,

lt

, <=

,

le

, >

,

gt

, >=

,

ge

, ==

,

=

, eq

,

!=

, <>

,

ne

respectively.

This parameter is case-sensitive, so values should be lowercase.

返回值：

By default, version_compare()

returns

-1

if the first version is lower than the second,

0

if they are equal, and

1

if the second is lower.

When using the optional operator

argument, the

function will return TRUE

if the relationship is the

one specified

by the operator, FALSE

otherwise.

从下面的例子，就可以很好地说明version_compare的用法：

if (

version_compare

(

PHP_VERSION

,

'6.0.0'

) >=

0

) {

echo

'I am at least PHP version 6.0.0, my version: '

.

PHP_VERSION

.

"/n"

;

}

if (

version_compare

(

PHP_VERSION

,

'5.3.0'

) >=

0

) {

echo

'I am at least PHP version 5.3.0, my version: '

.

PHP_VERSION

.

"/n"

;

}

if (

version_compare

(

PHP_VERSION

,

'5.0.0'

,

'>='

)) {

echo

'I am using PHP 5, my version: '

.

PHP_VERSION

.

"/n"

;

}

if (

version_compare

(

PHP_VERSION

,

'5.0.0'

,

'

)) {

echo

'I am using PHP 4, my version: '

.

PHP_VERSION

.

"/n"

;

}

?>

最近在nagios的图表监控插件pnp安装中遇到一个错误提示：Kohana requires PHP 5.2 or newer.查看页面源码，发现如下语句：

version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.2', '

也就是版本不满足就退出。
