The assertEqualsIgnoringCase() function is a builtin function in PHPUnit and is used to check whether the expected string is equal to actual string ignoring the string-case of expected string. This assertion will return true in the case if the actual string is equal to expected string ignoring case-sensitivity, else return false. In case of true the asserted test case got passed else test case got failed.
Syntax:
assertEqualsIgnoringCase(mixed $expected,
mixed $actual[, string $message = '']
Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as shown in the above syntax. The parameters are described below:
- $expected: This parameter is a string that represents the expected data.
- $actual: This parameter is a string that represents the actual data.
- $message: This parameter takes a string value. When the test case got failed this string message got displayed as an error message.
Below programs illustrate the assertEqualsIgnoringCase() function:
Example 1:
PHP
<?php use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase; class GeeksPhpunitTestCase extends TestCase { public function testNegativeTestcaseForAssertequalIgnoringCase() { $expected = "Geek"; $actual= "geEks"; // assert function to test whether expected string // is equal or not to actual ignoring case $this->assertEqualsIgnoringCase( $actual, $expected, "expected is not equal to actual ignoring case") ; } } ?> |
