Description:
------------
Just wanted to let you know that on your web site its writing about "strcmp":
Returns < 0 if str1 is less than str2; > 0 if str1  is greater than str2, and 0 if they are equal. 
I think it should be:
Returns "-1" if str1 is less than str2; "1" if str1  is greater than str2, and "0" if they are equal. 
Thank you.

The C standard only guarantees that the C strcmp() function (which underlies the PHP function) returns "an integer greater than, equal to, or less than zero, accordingly as the string pointed to by s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the string pointed to by s2". While most implementations do return +1, 0 and -1 as the return values, we can't assume that's the case on all platforms.
