str_contains vs Symfony Polyfill / Php80 str_contains

[knobik]

• Laravel Version: 7.16.1
• PHP Version: 7.4.4
• Database Driver & Version: N/A

Description:

str_contains helper method signature is diffrent then symfony / polyfill for php8 str_contains. It expects both $haystack and $needle to be string, passing array might couse to unexpected errors especially when a random vendor package requires the polyfill and your application does not.

Solution:

Match the function signature.

str_contains was removed from the framework core a while ago. We don't recommend you use those functions anymore, but the package is provided for BC.

In one of my projects, I also had to deal with this. I ended up replacing str_contains calls with Str::contains

You should upgrade to Laravel 6 LTS or 8, or downgrade your other dependencies to not use Symfony 8 polyfills.
