You would need to change the case of the string, say strtolower($var) ==
"var"

if you want to compare a substring, use the function substr ($var, $start,
$end)

so if you wanted to compare the first 3 characters of $var to see if they
matched var, you would do

if (strtolower(substr($var,0,3)) == "var")
{
  dosomething;
}

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Smarty String Comparison


Hi there

Can someone tell me how to do case insensitive string comparison in smarty
templates.
and also how to trim strings while comparing them.

For e.g.
{if $var == "Var"} Display {/if}
if this is the statement how to I change it so that it trims $var and does a
case insensitive compare with "Var"
