Hey internals, Just wanted to follow up with the real-world data I promised for array_str_contains().
I scanned the top 200 Composer packages (around 21,000 PHP files) to see how people currently handle array substring searches. Here is what I found (32 matches total): - array_filter with str_contains: 8 - array_filter with strpos: 8 - array_filter with stripos: 6 - foreach with str_contains: 6 - array_filter with preg_match: 4 All these different (and sometimes verbose) approaches can simply be replaced with a single, clean, and fast native call: array_str_contains($haystack, $needle) I’ve updated the RFC with these findings: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/array_str_contains If you want to check out the script or raw JSON results, I uploaded them here: https://gist.github.com/sepehrphpr/d4d371ba682cc43c4f258de94684cc91 Let me know what you think! Cheers, Sepehr
