note 125913 added to function.str-starts-with

With credit to Paul Phillips for the original polyfill posted. If you do not have PHP 8, you can use these functions to get the capability of the new string functions. But! Remember to use a conditional check to make sure the function is not already defined. <?php // source: Laravel Framework // https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/8.x/src/Illuminate/Support/Str.php if (!function_exists('str_starts_with')) { function str_starts_with($haystack, $needle) { return (string)$needle !== '' && strncmp($haystack, $needle, strlen($needle)) === 0; } } if (!function_exists('str_ends_with')) { function str_ends_with($haystack, $needle) { return $needle !== '' && substr($haystack, -strlen($needle)) === (string)$needle; } } if (!function_exists('str_contains')) { function str_contains($haystack, $needle) { return $needle !== '' && mb_strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false; } } ?> This keeps it from breaking in case you upgrade and forget that you added it. This is a good practice generally when using the global scope for your helper functions. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 45.112.85.242 (proxied: 98.234.233.200) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-starts-with.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/125913 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125913/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125913/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125913/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125913/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125913/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125913/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125913 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/125913 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
