if (trim($string) === trim($str_string_1)) {
// The strings are equal after removing spaces on the ends
}

Equal string check:
return $string == 'Student Appt.';
Containing string check:
return strpos($string, 'Student Appt.');

You just need a simple === comparison:
$find = "Student Appt.";
$string = "Student Appt."; // true
$string = "Student Appt.. Name Jonathan"; // false
if($string === $find)
return true;
else
return false;
You could even remove the if/else block completely, and instead just use:
return $string === $find;
