PHP – String startsWith and endsWith
The following 2 functions could check if a string starts/ends with another string.
/* Return TRUE if $needle is empty */
function startsWith($haystack, $needle) {
$length = strlen($needle);
return (substr($haystack, 0, $length) === $needle);
}
/* Return TRUE if $needle is empty */
function endsWith($haystack, $needle) {
$length = strlen($needle);
if ($length == 0) {
return TRUE;
}
$start = $length * -1;
return (substr($haystack, $start) === $needle);
}
Please note that if the $needle is empty, both functions will return TRUE.
Done =)

PHP – Write an Array/Object to File by print_r()
In debugging PHP program, i always use print() and print_r() to output the variable content to the browser. But this does not work when we are not using browser. A simple way to get the content is to write it to a file.
I found a nice post written by Ivan which provides this simple way with just a few lines of code.
