ID: 44606 Updated by: danbrown@php.net Reported By: julian dot hartmann at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Translation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: My native language isn't German, but I do speak it. To me, the combination of this: "Die Funktion entfernt Whitespaces an Anfang und Ende von str und gibt den String dann zurück. Ohne Verwendung des zweiten Parameters entfernt trim() folgende Zeichen" And this: "Optional kann eine Liste weiterer Zeichen angefügt werden, die an Anfang und Ende der Zeichenkette entfernt werden sollen. Um diese Zeichen anzugeben, wird der charlist Parameter verwendet. Er enthält eine Liste aller zu entfernenden Zeichen. Mit .. können darüber hinaus auch ganze Bereiche von Zeichen angegeben werden." Explains that the second parameter replaces the default charlist. In addition, the English documentation does, in fact, state the same.

English documentation does state not whether the second param "adds to" or "replaces" the default. Reproduce code: --------------- $foo = " \xa0 bar"; $trimmed = trim($foo, "\xa0"); var_dump($trimmed); $trimmed = trim($foo, "\xa0\x20"); var_dump($trimmed); Expected result: ---------------- string(3) "bar" string(3) "bar" Actual result: -------------- string(6) " bar" string(3) "bar" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44606&edit=1
