Re: Proposal for a new basic function: str_contains

I like to elaborate on Nikitas response: I don't think a mb_str_contains is necessary, because the proposed function does not behave differently, if the input strings are multibyte strings.

This is not true for all character encodings. For UTF-8 it is correct, but consider for example the Japanese encoding Shift_JIS, where the second byte of a multi-byte character can be a valid first byte of a single-byte character. str_contains() would have incorrect behaviour for this case.
