Nice one.

Check this implementation here on Snipplr, which I wrote: startsWith()

And if you wanna do it with the end of a string, I don't think you can use strpos(), check this implementation, which is also written by me: endsWith()

Which is the exact reason I didn't use it for the startswith() function either.
