The contains
helper method will check if any of the $needles
are in the given $haystack
. If any of the given $needles
are found in the $haystack
, the method will return true
, otherwise it returns false
. $needles
can be any value that can be converted into an array, and the $haystack
is any value that can be converted to a string. The case of the $haystack
and $needles
is also important.
The signature for the contains
helper function is:
contains($haystack, $needles)
1use Illuminate\Support\Str;
2
3// These are our $needles we want to check for.
4$needles = ['a', 'p', 'l', 'e', 's'];
5
6// true
7Str::contains('apples', $needles);
8
9// false
10Str::contains('APPLES', $needles);
11
12// true
13Str::contains('APPLEs', $needles);
#str_contains($haystack, $needles)
The str_contains
function is a shortcut to calling Str::contains
. This function is declared in the global namespace.
