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.
