Author: TimWolla
### Description
The following code:
```php
<?php
try {
$string = "Foo\x00bar";
assert(!str_contains($string, "\x00"));
} catch (Error $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
```
Resulted in this output:
```
assert(!str_contains($string, '
```
But I expected this output instead: The closing `'));` should not be cut off. Ideally the NUL byte would be output in escaped form.
