Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #4815 Updated: trim does not trim \v and \0

Hi thanks for your fast answer, but: in that case it is either me, who put this bug in the wrong category (maybe rather a documentation problem) or you haven't read the docs (http://bugs.php.net/manual/function.trim.php) It says: The whitespace characters it currently strips are: "\n", "\r", "\t", "\v", "\0", and a plain space. Any way there has to be a function that strips the NULL from a string, because if you do an addslashes() on a string NULL becomes \0!! I have a function, that takes a substring of length 30, bu in some cases this contain NULL, so I do a trim, which doesn´t do anything. At some other point I have to do an addslaches to this string to insert it into a database. And then all the NULLs are \0. If I do another trim nothing is done to the string again. As I think, that this i what trim() was made for, maybe you should reopen the Bug-Report. I am trying to keep my mails as short as possible, so if you need more info (example code) just ask for it.
