Here are Java like startsWith/endsWith implementations in PHP.
<?php
function startsWith($haystack,$needle)
{
$res=FALSE;
if(mb_strripos($haystack,$needle,0,"utf-8")==0)
$res= TRUE;
return $res;
}
function endsWith($haystack,$needle)
{
$res=FALSE;
$len=mb_strlen($haystack);
$pos=$len-mb_strlen($needle);
if(mb_strripos($haystack,$needle,0,"utf-8")==$pos)
$res= TRUE;
return $res;
}
?>
mb_strripos
(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0)
mb_strripos — Finds position of last occurrence of a string within another, case insensitive
Description
mb_strripos() performs multi-byte safe strripos() operation based on number of characters. needle position is counted from the beginning of haystack. First character's position is 0. Second character position is 1. Unlike mb_strrpos(), mb_strripos() is case-insensitive.
Parameters
- haystack
-
The string from which to get the position of the last occurrence of needle
- needle
-
The string to find in haystack
- offset
-
The position in haystack to start searching
- encoding
-
Character encoding name to use. If it is omitted, internal character encoding is used.
Return Values
Return the numeric position of the last occurrence of needle in the haystack string, or FALSE if needle is not found.
