Req #60630 [NEW]: I'd like to see two functions added to php: str_begins_with and str_ends_with

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.4.0RC4 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:I'd like to see two functions added to php: str_begins_with and str_ends_with Description: ------------ I would like to see to string functions added to php. I know they are easy to implement in userland, but it would be nice to have them in the core. I coded them up and attached a patch. The functions are: str_begins_with(string $haystack, string $needle [, $case_insensitive = false]) and str_ends_with(string $haystack, string $needle [, $case_insensitive = false]) I think they are pretty self explanatory, check if a string begins with or ends with another string. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60630&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60630&r=mysqlcfg
