[wp-hackers] Version Compare?

[Computer Guru]

> var_dump(version_compare('2.1-beta1', '2.1-alpha2', 'gt'));

Works like a dream - I didn't know it was valid for text too.
Thanks!
(But I don't see the need for var_dump... is there a special reason you put
it there? I just have version_compare thrown in an if statement)
