Description:
------------
I would like to see to string functions added to php. I know they are easy to 
implement in userland, but it would be nice to have them in the core.
I coded them up and attached a patch.
The functions are:

  str_begins_with(string $haystack, string $needle [, $case_insensitive = false])

and 

  str_ends_with(string $haystack, string $needle [, $case_insensitive = false])

I think they are pretty self explanatory, check if a string begins with or ends 
with another string.

substr allows that very easily, for example with negative offset for the end with 
part of your request.

However if you like to propose them, please write a RFC and a patch. The RFC 
process is described here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/voting
