A VBScript equivalent of PHP’s substr_compare

Function substr_compare(main_str,str,offset,length, case_insensitivity)

    If len(offset) > 0 Then
        If offset > 0 Then
            main_str = Mid(main_str,offset)
        Else
            main_str = Mid(main_str,len(main_str) + offset + 1)
        End If
    End If

    If len(length) > 0 Then
        main_str = Left(main_str,length)
        str = Left(str,length)
    End If
    var_dump main_str
    var_dump str
    If case_insensitivity = true Then
        substr_compare = strcasecmp(main_str,str)
    Else
        substr_compare = strcmp(main_str,str)
    End If

End Function
