The assertStringContainsString() function is a builtin function in PHPUnit and is used to assert a string containing a substring. This assertion will return true in the case if the string contains the substring as a substring else return false and in case of true the asserted test case got passed else test case got failed. Syntax:
assertStringContainsString(string $substring, string $string, string $message = ''])
Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as shown in the above syntax. The parameters are described below:
  1. $substring: This parameter represents the string to be substring of given string.
  2. $string: This parameter is string for which the assert function will check whether it contains substring or not.
  3. $message: This parameter takes string value. When the testcase got failed this string message got displayed as error message.
Below programs illustrate the assertStringContainsString() function: Program 1: php
<?php
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class GeeksPhpunitTestCase extends TestCase
{
    public function testNegativeTestcaseForAssertStringContainsString()
    {
        $testString = "geekforgeek";
        $substring = "geeks"; 
        // assert function to test whether 'geeks' is a substring of testString
        $this->assertStringContainsString($substring, $testString, "testString doesn't contains 'geeks' as substring") ;
    }
}

?>
Output:
PHPUnit 8.2.5 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

OK (1 test, 1 assertion)
Note : To run testcases with phpunit follow steps from here. Also, assertStringContainsString() is supported by phpunit 7 and above.
