&$array
)
natcasesort() is a case insensitive version of natsort().
This function implements a sort algorithm that orders alphanumeric strings in the way a human being would while maintaining key/value associations. This is described as a "natural ordering".
The input array.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example #1 natcasesort() example
<?php
$array1 = $array2 = array('IMG0.png', 'img12.png', 'img10.png', 'img2.png', 'img1.png', 'IMG3.png');
sort($array1);
echo "Standard sorting\n";
print_r($array1);
natcasesort($array2);
echo "\nNatural order sorting (case-insensitive)\n";
print_r($array2);
?>
The above example will output:
Standard sorting
Array
(
[0] => IMG0.png
[1] => IMG3.png
[2] => img1.png
[3] => img10.png
[4] => img12.png
[5] => img2.png
)

[0] => IMG0.png

[3] => img2.png

)
