I know they are easy to implement in userland, but it would be nice to have them in the core. I coded them up and attached a patch. The functions are: str_begins_with(string $haystack, string $needle [, $case_insensitive = false]) and str_ends_with(string $haystack, string $needle [, $case_insensitive = false]) I think they are pretty self explanatory, check if a string begins with or ends with another string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60630&edit=1
