The if statement has to be modified as below as per syntax

Code:
if [ $str1 == $str2 ]

Without the spaces, it considers the expression as a string and evaluates to true as it is non-zero.

strnatcasecmp - Case insensitive string comparisons using a ";natural order" algorithm

SYNOPSIS
int strnatcasecmp (string $str1, string $str2) DESCRIPTION
This function implements a comparison algorithm that orders alphanumeric strings in the way a human being would. The behaviour of this function is similar to strnatcmp(3), except that the comparison is not case sensitive. For more information see: Martin Pool's Natural Order String Comparison page. PARAMETERS
o $str1 - The first string. o $str2 - The second string. RETURN VALUES
Similar to other string comparison functions, this one returns < 0 if $str1 is less than $str2 > 0 if $str1 is greater than $str2, and 0 if they are equal. SEE ALSO
preg_match(3), strcmp(3), strcasecmp(3), substr(3), stristr(3), strncasecmp(3), strncmp(3), strstr(3), setlocale(3). PHP Documentation Group STRNATCASECMP(3)
