sys_get_temp_dir
Since this function considers 1 < 1.0 < 1.0.0, others might find this function useful (which considers 1 == 1.0):
<?php
//Compare two sets of versions, where major/minor/etc. releases are separated by dots.
//Returns 0 if both are equal, 1 if A > B, and -1 if B < A.
function version_compare2($a, $b)
{
$a = explode(".", rtrim($a, ".0")); //Split version into pieces and remove trailing .0
$b = explode(".", rtrim($b, ".0")); //Split version into pieces and remove trailing .0
foreach ($a as $depth => $aVal)
{ //Iterate over each piece of A
if (isset($b[$depth]))
{ //If B matches A to this depth, compare the values
if ($aVal > $b[$depth]) return 1; //Return A > B
else if ($aVal < $b[$depth]) return -1; //Return B > A
//An equal result is inconclusive at this point
}
else
{ //If B does not match A to this depth, then A comes after B in sort order
return 1; //so return A > B
}
}
//At this point, we know that to the depth that A and B extend to, they are equivalent.
//Either the loop ended because A is shorter than B, or both are equal.
return (count($a) < count($b)) ? -1 : 0;
}
?>
version_compare
(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5)
version_compare — Compara dos cadenas de número de versión "PHP-estándar"
Descripción
version_compare() compara dos cadenas de número de versión "PHP-estandarizadas". Esto es útil si quisiera escribir programas que trabajen solo en algunas versiones de PHP.
La función comienza por reemplazar _, - y + con un punto . en las cadenas de versión, y también inserta puntos . antes y después de cualquier secuencia no numérica, de modo que por ejemplo '4.3.2RC1' se convierte en '4.3.2.RC.1'. Luego separa los resultados como si se usara explode('.', $ver). Luego compara las partes de izquierda a derecha. Si una parte contiene cadenas de versión especiales, éstas son gestionadas en el siguiente orden: dev < alpha = a < beta = b < RC < pl. De este modo, no solo las versiones con diferentes niveles, como '4.1' y '4.1.2' pueden ser comparadas, sino que también cualquier versión específica de PHP que contenga un indicador de estado de desarrollo.
Lista de parámetros
- version1
-
Primer número de versión.
- version2
-
Segundo número de versión.
- operador
-
Si especifica el tercer argumento opcional operador , puede realizar pruebas por una relación en particular. Los operadores posibles son: <, lt, <=, le, >, gt, >=, ge, ==, =, eq, !=, <>, ne respectivamente. Mediante el uso de este argumento, la función devolverá TRUE si la relación es la especificada por el operador, o FALSE de lo contrario.
Valores retornados
version_compare() devuelve -1 si la primera versión es inferior a la segunda, 0 si son iguales, y +1 si la segunda es menor.
Ejemplos
Example #1 Ejemplo de version_compare()
<?php
// imprime -1
echo version_compare("4.0.4", "4.0.6");
// todos estos casos imprimen 1
echo version_compare("4.0.4", "4.0.6", "<");
echo version_compare("4.0.6", "4.0.6", "eq");
?>
Notes
Note: La constante PHP_VERSION almacena la versión actual de PHP.

<?php
// quick & dirty way to barricade your code during version transitions
assert('version_compare("5", PHP_VERSION, "<"); // requires PHP 5 or higher');
?>

It should be noted that version_compare() considers 1 < 1.0 < 1.0.0 etc. I'm guessing this is due to the left-to-right nature of the algorithm.

I know this is somewhat incomplete, but it did a fair enough job for what I needed. I was writing some code that needed done immediately on a server that was to be upgraded some time in the future. Here is a quick replacement for version_compare (without the use of the operator argument). Feel free to add to this / complete it.
<?php
function version_compare2($version1, $version2)
{
$v1 = explode('.',$version1);
$v2 = explode('.',$version2);
if ($v1[0] > $v2[0])
$ret = 1;
else if ($v1[0] < $v2[0])
$ret = -1;
else // Major ver are =
{
if ($v1[1] > $v2[1])
$ret = 1;
else if ($v1[1] < $v2[1])
$ret = -1;
else // Minor ver are =
{
if ($v1[2] > $v2[2])
$ret = 1;
else if ($v1[2] < $v2[2])
$ret = -1;
else
$ret = 0;
}
}
return $ret;
}
?>

Something that may trip some folks up, but is useful to mention is that the following version comparison does not work quite as I expected:
version_compare('1.0.1', '1.0pl1', '>')
However, its quite easy to get working:
version_compare('1.0.1', '1.0.0pl1', '>')

If you're careful, this function actualy works quite nicely for comparing version numbers from programs other than PHP itself. I've used it to compare MySQL version numbers. The only issue is that version_compare doesn't recognize the 'gamma' addition that mysql uses as being later than 'alpha' or 'beta', because the latter two are treated specially. If you keep this in mind though, you should have no problems.

Here's a wrapper which is more tolerant as far as order of arguments is considered:
<?php
function ver_cmp($arg1, $arg2 = null, $arg3 = null) {
static $phpversion = null;
if ($phpversion===null) $phpversion = phpversion();
switch (func_num_args()) {
case 1: return version_compare($phpversion, $arg1);
case 2:
if (preg_match('/^[lg][te]|[<>]=?|[!=]?=|eq|ne|<>$/i', $arg1))
return version_compare($phpversion, $arg2, $arg1);
elseif (preg_match('/^[lg][te]|[<>]=?|[!=]?=|eq|ne|<>$/i', $arg2))
return version_compare($phpversion, $arg1, $arg2);
return version_compare($arg1, $arg2);
default:
$ver1 = $arg1;
if (preg_match('/^[lg][te]|[<>]=?|[!=]?=|eq|ne|<>$/i', $arg2))
return version_compare($arg1, $arg3, $arg2);
return version_compare($arg1, $arg2, $arg3);
}
}
?>
It also uses phpversion() as a default version if only one string is present. It can make your code look nicer 'cuz you can now write:
<?php if (ver_cmp($version1, '>=', $version2)) something; ?>
and to check a version string against the PHP's version you might use:
<?php if (ver_cmp('>=', $version)) something; ?>
instead of using phpversion().

so in a nutshell... I believe it works best like this:
<?php
if (version_compare(phpversion(), "4.3.0", ">=")) {
// you're on 4.3.0 or later
} else {
// you're not
}
?>

Actually, it works to any degree:
<?php
version_compare('1.2.3.4RC7.7', '1.2.3.4RC7.8')
version_compare('8.2.50.4', '8.2.52.6')
?>
will both give -1 (ie the left is lower than the right).
