Another small point, you don't need that starts with function, just use strpos === 0.

It's actually good practice to wrap a bit of code like that in a function with a name, as long as it isn't in some kind of extremely frequently executed inner loop.

'starts_with' is descriptive and language agnostic where '=== 0' is neither.
