ID: 40243 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: burg1 at gmx dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: That is why the argument is called "charlist", not "wordlist". If you do however have a rephrase is mind, please share. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-26 01:07:48] burg1 at gmx dot net Description: ------------ Please clarify what the trim() functions actually do if the charlist argument is present: ltrim('deeds', 'ed'); returns: 's' EACH single character in charlist is trimmed from the beginning of the string, REPEATEDLY. Please include this (or something similar) as a usage example in the docs! There are already 2 false bug reports filed from people who obviously misunderstood how these functions work: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35584 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22217 To figure this out just gave me an hour-long headache ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40243&edit=1
