Deprecation: #95293 - StringUtility::beginsWith() and StringUtility::endsWith()¶
See forge#95293
Description¶
The helper methods StringUtility::beginsWith()
and
StringUtility::endsWith()
have been marked as deprecated, as the newly
available PHP-built in functions str_starts_with()
and
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 StringUtility::beginsWith()
or StringUtility::endsWith()
will trigger a 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 StringUtility::beginsWith()
with
str_starts_with()
and StringUtility::endsWith()
with 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.
