I had come through a situation to compare the category name and post title for a wordpress post. The following functions and code helped me to do this.
$category = get_the_category();
$cat = $category[0]->cat_name;
$post_no = get_post($post);
$title = $post_no->post_title;
$match=strcmp($cat,$title);
if($match==0){
echo “match”;
}
else
{
echo “no match”;
}
The problem here is $cat = $category[0]->cat_name; returns the first category name, so we are comparing only the first category with the title. If we want to compare the second category we have to use $cat = $category[1]->cat_name;
I hope someone will write a better solution so that we can compare the array, category with title. I would appreciate if someone can post that…
in_array came to my mind, but it is case sensitive…

I posted this in wordpress forum and the experts there helped me to do it in a better way. Here is the code:
< ?php
$cats = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID);
if ($cats) {
foreach ($cats as $cat) {
$category = get_category($cat);
if ( strcmp(strtoupper($post->post_title), strtoupper($category->name)) ) {
echo ‘Match’;
} } }
?>
