These new string functions are coming in PHP 8Category: PHP, javascript
A blog on PHP, JavaScript and more Amit Merchant · June 13, 2020 · ⋆ PHP Who would’ve thought that PHP would have to wait till its version 8 or rather 25 years after its inception, to get a truly native and understandable function to check if a string is contained in another string?!
Prior to PHP 8 or up until now, the way that many of us used to check if the specified string is there within an another string or not was by using function strpos like so.
So, in order to fix this, this RFC attempts to add a new function called str_contains which checks if a string is contained in another string and returns a boolean value (true/false) whether or not the string was found.
So, str_contains takes a $haystack and a $needle as arguments, checks if $needle is found in $haystack and returns a boolean value (true/false) whether or not the $needle was found.
