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
