Documentation

This library provides the following functions in the global scope. It will not cause conflicts in any project using it, should PHP decide to adopt and implement the RFC in a future version.

str_starts_with

str_starts_with(string $haystack , string $needle): bool

Performs a case-sensitive check to determine whether $haystack begins with $needle.

Example

$url = 'http://example.com';

if (str_starts_with($url, 'http://')) {
    $url = str_replace('http://', 'https://', $url);
}

str_ends_with

str_ends_with(string $haystack , string $needle): bool

Performs a case-sensitive check to determine whether $haystack ends with $needle.

Example

$file = '/path/to/something.log';

if (str_ends_with($file, '.log')) {
    $contents = file_get_contents($file);
}

str_begins_with_ci

str_begins_with_ci(string $haystack , string $needle): bool

Performs a case-insensitive check to determine whether $haystack begins with $needle.

Example

$url = 'HTTPS://example.com';

if (str_begins_with_ci($url, 'https://')) {
    $url = substr($url, 8);
}

str_ends_with_ci

str_ends_with_ci(string $haystack , string $needle): bool

Performs a case-insensitive check to determine whether $haystack ends with $needle.

Example

$file = '/path/to/something.TXT';

if (str_ends_with_ci($file, '.txt')) {
    $contents = file_get_contents($file);
}

mb_str_starts_with

mb_str_starts_with(string $haystack , string $needle [, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()]): bool

Performs a case-sensitive, multi-byte safe str_starts_with() operation to check whether $haystack begins with $needle.

This function is only available if the mbstring extension is installed.

Example

$runePoem = 'ᚠᛇᚻ᛫ᛒᛦᚦ᛫ᚠᚱᚩᚠᚢᚱ᛫ᚠᛁᚱᚪ᛫ᚷᛖᚻᚹᛦᛚᚳᚢᛗ';

if (mb_str_starts_with($runePoem, 'ᚠᛇᚻ')) {
    $poem = 'Wealth is a comfort to all men';
}

mb_str_ends_with

mb_str_ends_with(string $haystack , string $needle [, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()]): bool

Performs a case-sensitive, multi-byte safe str_ends_with() operation to check whether $haystack ends with $needle.

This function is only available if the mbstring extension is installed.

Example

$sanskrit = 'काचं शक्नोम्यत्तुम् । नोपहिनस्ति माम् ॥';

if (mb_str_ends_with($sanskrit, 'माम् ॥')) {
    $translation = 'I can eat glass';
}

mb_str_begins_with_ci

mb_str_begins_with_ci(string $haystack , string $needle [, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()]): bool

Performs a case-insensitive, multi-byte safe str_begins_with_ci() operation to check whether $haystack begins with $needle.

This function is only available if the mbstring extension is installed.

Example

$poem = 'Τὴ γλῶσσα μοῦ ἔδωσαν ἑλληνικὴ';

if (mb_str_begins_with_ci($poem, 'ΤῊ')) {
    $poet = 'Οδυσσέας Ελύτης';
}

mb_str_ends_with_ci

mb_str_ends_with_ci(string $haystack , string $needle [, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()]): bool

Performs a case-insensitive, multi-byte safe str_ends_with_ci() operation to check whether $haystack ends with $needle.

This function is only available if the mbstring extension is installed.

Example

$poem = 'Τὴ γλῶσσα μοῦ ἔδωσαν ἑλληνικὴ';

if (mb_str_ends_with_ci($poem, 'ἙΛΛΗΝΙΚῊ')) {
    $poet = 'Οδυσσέας Ελύτης';
}
