My Compare Function, It too simple, I don't see the error.

[Lamez]

I'm more or less getting a logic error, so I cannot provide any syntactical errors.

 

The function in question is suppose to take two variables and compare them. I also have a boolean variable to see if I care about the case of the variables. However if I do something like this:

 

compare("NAME", "name", false);

The function returns false.

 

Here is the function:

function compare($var1, $var2, $caseMatters){
if(!$caseMatters && !is_numeric($var1) && !is_numeric($var2)){
	strtolower($var1);
	strtolower($var2);
}
return md5($var1) === md5($var2);
}

 

Any thoughts?

These two lines

<?php
	strtolower($var1);
	strtolower($var2);
?>

don't assign their results to anything. You need to do:

<?php
	$var1 = strtolower($var1);
	$var2 = strtolower($var2);
?>
