Maybe you already knew this but With php 8.1 you can just use str_contains now it’s way simpler they literally did it to fix how annoying it was before as in your example. I find myself googling needle and haystack orders often for diff functions I don’t use often. More on reddit.com

The wrapper for all PHP internal (built-in) array functions and easy array manipulation library on steroids in an object-oriented way.

Aren't steroids actually bad? :-)

Neat effort, but I need to very clearly point out that reference semantics for objects make very poor value objects and DTOs (which collections typically are used for).

I appreciate this is why the immutable versions exist, but one has to ask themselves how far they want to inconvenience themselves in order to say "my arrays are objects".

For example, I want to question the promise of "easy array manipulation" by asking how do I take immutable array $a and get a copy $b with this manipulation:

$b = $a;
$b['foo']['bar']['baz'] = 123;

I'd like to question the author what is really the big win of typing this:

A::create([1, 2, 3])->foo();

Instead of this:

A::foo([1, 2, 3]);

I realize the above is shorter when you call lots of methods on the resulting object, but that shortness is offset by immense amount of complexity that should compensate for the fact objects don't have pass-by-value semantics as normal arrays do.

You'll also have to round-trip PHP arrays to your arrays and back a lot in practice, because most APIs use PHP arrays.
