Hi all,
I would like to create an RFC proposal suggesting modifying the
str_contains, str_starts_with and str_ends_with functions so that they can
accept an array argument for the $needle parameter (apart from accepting a
string as they do now). If an array is passed and the $haystack string
contains, starts with or ends with any of the strings in the array then the
functions will return true, otherwise returns false.
I looked at the RFCs where these functions were added and at the related
internal discussions and could not find any discussion about this
possibility.
Before creating the RFC I would like to hear the thoughts of the group,
many thanks in advance
Cheers
Carlos
