It also isn't any shorter: if(str_endswith($path,'.php')) vs. if(substr($path,-4)=='.php')

Only if comparing to a static string, but not for this case: if (substr($path, -strlen($extension)) == $extension) Readability would also increase.

You people are funny..

I'd like to have such a function in PHP, but when you think about how easy it is to create without bloating the PHP core, it's easy enough to do without it. Here's what I do using my own string library: if (LS_Util_String :: ends_with($path, '.php')) { ... } It's a bit longer, but all my functions are longer for good reason: http://www.dantescode.com/2007/10/10/evolution-of-php-coder-naming-classes/ -- Dante
