str_contains — 指定された部分文字列が、文字列に含まれるかを調べる
needle が
haystack に含まれるかを調べます。
大文字小文字は区別されます。
haystack検索対象の文字列
needle
haystack で調べる部分文字列
例1 空文字列 '' を使った場合
<?php
if (str_contains('abc', '')) {
echo "Checking the existence of the empty string will always return true";
}
?>上の例の出力は以下となります。
Checking the existence of the empty string will always return true
例2 大文字小文字の区別
<?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';
}
?>上の例の出力は以下となります。
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 ?: ""`;A couple of functions for checking if a string contains any of the strings in an array, or all of the strings in an array:
<?php
function str_contains_any(string $haystack, array $needles): bool
{
return array_reduce($needles, fn($a, $n) => $a || str_contains($haystack, $n), false);
}
function str_contains_all(string $haystack, array $needles): bool
{
return array_reduce($needles, fn($a, $n) => $a && str_contains($haystack, $n), true);
}
?>
str_contains_all() will return true if $needles is an empty array. If you think that's wrong, show me a string in $needles that DOESN'T appear in the $haystack, and then look up "vacuous truth".
(By swapping haystacks and needles in the body of these functions you can create versions that check if a needle appears in any/all of an array of haystacks.)This function doesn't always produce the expected results if you have a needle that isn't UTF-8 but are looking for it in a UTF-8 string. This won't be a concern for most people, but if you are mixing old and new data, especially if reading data from a file, it could be an issue.
Here's a "mb_*"-esque function that searches the string:
<?php
function mb_str_contains(string $haystack, string $needle, $encoding = null) {
return $needle === '' || mb_substr_count($haystack, $needle, (empty($encoding) ? mb_internal_encoding() : $encoding)) > 0;
}
?>
I used mb_substr_count() instead of mb_strpos() because mb_strpos() will still match partial characters as it's doing a binary search.
We can compare str_contains to the above suggested function:
<?php
// Some Unicode Kanji (漢字はユニコード)
$string = hex2bin('e6bca2e5ad97e381afe383a6e3838be382b3e383bce38389');
// Some Windows-1252 characters (ãƒ)
$contains = hex2bin('e383');
// ^ file_get_contents() produces the same data when it is saved as "ANSI" in Notepad on Windows, so this is not that unrealistic. The only reason to use hex2bin here is to mix character sets without having to use multiple files.
// A character that actually exists in our string. (ー)
$contains2 = hex2bin('e383bc');
echo " = Haystack: ".var_export($string, true)."\r\n";
echo " = Needles:\r\n";
echo " + Windows-1252 characters\r\n";
echo " - Results:\r\n";
echo " > str_contains: ".var_export(str_contains($string, $contains), true)."\r\n";
echo " > mb_str_contains: ".var_export(mb_str_contains($string, $contains), true)."\r\n";
echo " + Valid UTF-8 character\r\n";
echo " - Results:\r\n";
echo " > str_contains: ".var_export(str_contains($string, $contains2), true)."\r\n";
echo " > mb_str_contains: ".var_export(mb_str_contains($string, $contains2), true)."\r\n";
echo "\r\n";
?>
Output:
= Haystack: '漢字はユニコード'
= Needles:
+ Windows-1252 characters
- Results:
> str_contains: true
> mb_str_contains: false
+ Valid UTF-8 character
- Results:
> str_contains: true
> mb_str_contains: true
It's not completely foolproof, however. For instance, ド in Windows-1252 will match ド from the above string. So it's still best to convert the encoding of the parameters to be the same first. But, if the character set isn't known/can't be detected and you have no choice but to deal with dirty data, this is probably the simplest solution.The code from "me at daz dot co dot uk" will not work if the word is
- at the start of the string
- at the end of the string
- at the end of a sentence (like "the ox." or "is that an ox?")
- in quotes
- and so on.
You should explode the string by whitespace, punctations, ... and check if the resulting array contains your word OR try to test with a RegEx like this:
(^|[\s\W])+word($|[\s\W])+
Disclaimer: The RegEx may need some tweaksprivate function contains(array $needles, string $type, string $haystack = NULL, string $filename = NULL) : bool {
