.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. _deprecation-95293: =============================================================================== Deprecation: #95293 - StringUtility::beginsWith() and StringUtility::endsWith() =============================================================================== See :issue:`95293` Description =========== The helper methods :php:`StringUtility::beginsWith()` and :php:`StringUtility::endsWith()` have been marked as deprecated, as the newly available PHP-built in functions :php:`str_starts_with()` and :php:`str_ends_with()` can be used instead, which support proper typing and is faster on PHP 8.0. For PHP 7.4 installations, the dependency `symfony/polyfill-php80` adds the PHP functions in lower PHP environments, which TYPO3 Core ships as dependency since TYPO3 v10 LTS. Impact ====== Calling :php:`StringUtility::beginsWith()` or :php:`StringUtility::endsWith()` will trigger a PHP :php:`E_USER_DEPRECATED` error. Affected Installations ====================== TYPO3 installations using these TYPO3 API functions - either via extensions or in their own site-specific code. An analysis via TYPO3's extension scanner will show any matches. Migration ========= Replace all calls of :php:`StringUtility::beginsWith()` with :php:`str_starts_with()` and :php:`StringUtility::endsWith()` with :php:`str_ends_with()` to avoid deprecation warnings and to keep your code up-to-date. See `php.net: str-starts-with `_ and `php.net: str-ends-with `_ for further syntax. .. index:: PHP-API, FullyScanned, ext:core
