Hi,
ucfirst() isn't solving a pain point either. But we use it all the time (I
do at least).
I'm particularly for begins/endswith() function as I do this all over my
code and I'd appreciate the simplification and free extra performance.
Regards,
Stan Vassilev
I agree that many existing
Surely substr_compare() does both begin end easily enough.
Though the fact that it throws warnings is annoying.

Hi!
It also isn't any shorter:
if(str_endswith($path,'.php'))
vs.
if(substr($path,-4)=='.php')
Doesn't substr allocate new string for .php? Then endswith can have
one advantage of not requiring any new allocations. Not sure it's enough
to add it, but a point here to consider.

Hi,
Actually starts with and ends with is a very common case. I see your
concerns, but I can see instantly quite a lot of places in my code where I'd
use those. And I bet it'll be faster too.
Many of the string functions can be replicated with one-liners using other
string functions, same
I agree that many existing functions can be implemented with a
combination of others, but in this case it is really just one call. The
strlen() call is almost free, and in many cases you wouldn't even use
it. If you are looking for .php files, for example:
if(str_endswith($path,'.php'))
Attached you'll find a patch against PHP_5_3 that implements two new
string functions:
str_startswith(haystack, needle [, case_sensitivity])
checks if haystack starts with needle. The check is performed
case-insensitively, but this can be overridden by passing TRUE as the
value for the third
Hi Martin,
first of all, thanks for you work! A few comments below.

For the start of the string:
substr($haystack,0,strlen($needle)) == $needle
And for the end of the string:
substr($haystack,-strlen($needle)) == $needle
For case-insensitivity, just strtolower both.
Writing built-in functions for something that can be done with trivial
one-liners isn't
