Notes on text: > After that RFC was closed, a code freeze was in place for PHP8's release. PHP8 has now been released and several individuals have requested the str_starts_with and str_ends_with functionality again. This is a simple but highly desired functionality for PHP. I think you mean PHP 7.4 here. PHP 8.0 is not yet released, and not in feature freeze either. > Add str_starts_with, and str_starts_with_ci() functions The second function should probably be str_ends_with() :) Nikita
