function startsWith($haystack, $needle) {
     return substr($haystack, 0, strlen($needle)) == $needle;
}

Fastest endsWith（）解决方案：

# Checks if a string ends in a string
function endsWith($haystack, $needle) {
    return substr($haystack,-strlen($needle))===$needle;
}

我意识到这已经完成，但您可能需要查看strncmp，因为它允许您将字符串的长度与之进行比较，因此：

function startsWith($haystack, $needle, $case=true) {
    if ($case)
        return strncasecmp($haystack, $needle, strlen($needle)) == 0;
    else
        return strncmp($haystack, $needle, strlen($needle)) == 0;
}    

您可以为此使用fnmatch函数。

// Starts with.
fnmatch('prefix*', $haystack);
// Ends with.
fnmatch('*suffix', $haystack);

拉里维尔9.0

如果你正在使用Laravel，那么你可以执行以下操作（如果你没有使用Laraver，那么你真的应该这样做）。

Str::of('a long string')->startsWith('a');
Str::of('a long string')->endsWith('string');

//true
//true

PHP 8更新

PHP 8包含了新的str_starts_with和str_ends_with函数，它们最终为这个问题提供了一个高效便捷的解决方案：

$str = "beginningMiddleEnd";
if (str_starts_with($str, "beg")) echo "printed\n";
if (str_starts_with($str, "Beg")) echo "not printed\n";
if (str_ends_with($str, "End")) echo "printed\n";
if (str_ends_with($str, "end")) echo "not printed\n";
