str_contains()

<?php
$haystack = 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star';
$needle = 'Star';

if(str_contains($haystack, $needle)){
// needle exists in haystack
}

str_contains("text string", ""); // true
str_contains("", ""); // true
str_contains("", "abc"); // false

str_starts_with()

<?php
$haystack = 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star';
$needle = 'Twinkle Twin';

var_dump(str_starts_with($haystack, $needle));
// true

str_ends_with()

<?php
$haystack = 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star';
$needle = 'le Star';

var_dump(str_ends_with($haystack, $needle));
// true
