String match without matching order of character in php

Question

I am trying to create a condition in php like given below-

$variable = "132";
if($variable == "123"){
    echo "Matched.";
}else{
    echo "Not Matched.";
}

I want to show Matched in this condition, cause these two values are same character.

Basically the condition is false, but i need to make it true, See the characters between them, these are same but in different order. — Mysterious, Oct 23 '16 at 09:55

Thank you so much, finally i got my answer-

$variable = "1432";
$var = str_split($variable);
sort($var);
if(implode("", $var) == "1234"){
    echo "Matched.";
}else{
    echo "Not Matched.";
}

I would split the strings into the constituent characters and do array_diff on them.

$variable = str_split("132");
$variable_2 = str_split("123");
var_dump( array_diff($variable, $variable_2));
if(count(array_diff($variable, $variable_2)) == 0){
    echo "Matched."; 
}else{
    echo "Not Matched.";
}
