What's the most efficient test of whether a PHP string ends with another string?

Question

The standard PHP way to test whether a string $str ends with a substring $test is:

$endsWith = substr( $str, -strlen( $test ) ) ==          


        

Answer 1

This is pure PHP, without calling external functions, except for strlen.

function endsWith ($ends, $string)
{
    $strLength = strlen ($string);
    $endsLength = strlen ($ends);
    for ($i = 0; $i < $endsLength; $i++)
    {
        if ($string [$strLength - $i - 1] !== $ends [$i])
            return false;
    }
    return true;
}
