Beschreibung

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

Performs a case-sensitive check indicating if needle is contained in haystack.

Parameter-Liste

haystack

The string to search in.

needle

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 Using the empty string ''

<?php
if (str_contains('abc', '')) {
echo
"Checking the existence of the empty string will always return true";
}
?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

Beispiel #2 Showing case-sensitivity

<?php
$string
= 'The lazy fox jumped over the fence';

if (
str_contains($string, 'lazy')) {
echo
"The string 'lazy' was found in the string\n";
}

if (
str_contains($string, 'Lazy')) {
echo
'The string "Lazy" was found in the string';
} else {
echo
'"Lazy" was not found because the case does not match';
}

?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

The string 'lazy' was found in the string
"Lazy" was not found because the case does not match

For earlier versions of PHP, you can polyfill the str_contains function using the following snippet:

<?php
// based on original work from the PHP Laravel framework
if (!function_exists('str_contains')) {
    function
str_contains($haystack, $needle) {
        return
$needle !== '' && mb_strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false;
    }
}
?>

The polyfill that based on original work from the PHP Laravel framework had a different behavior;

when the $needle is `""` or `null`:
php8's will return `true`;
but, laravel'str_contains will return `false`;

when php8.1, null is deprecated, You can use `$needle ?: ""`;

The code from "me at daz dot co dot uk" will not work if the word is
- at the start of the string
- at the end of the string
- at the end of a sentence (like "the ox." or "is that an ox?")
- in quotes
- and so on.

You should explode the string by whitespace, punctations, ... and check if the resulting array contains your word OR try to test with a RegEx like this:
(^|[\s\W])+word($|[\s\W])+

Disclaimer: The RegEx may need some tweaks

// Polyfill for PHP 4 - PHP 7, safe to utilize with PHP 8

Until PHP 8 was released, many-a-programmer were writing our own contain() functions. Mine also handles needles with logical ORs (set to '||').
Here it is.

function contains($haystack, $needle, $offset){
    $OR = '||';
    $result = false;
   
    $ORpos = strpos($needle, $OR, 0);
    if($ORpos !== false){ //ORs exist in the needle string
        $needle_arr = explode($OR, $needle);
        for($i=0; $i < count($needle_arr); $i++){
            $pos = strpos($haystack, trim($needle_arr[$i]), $offset);
            if($pos !== false){
                $result = true;
                break;
            }
        }       
    } else {
        $pos = strpos($haystack, trim($needle), $offset);
        if($pos !== false){
          $result = true;
        }
    }
  return($result);
}

Call: contains("Apple Orange Banana", "Apple || Walnut", 0);
Returns: true
