Re: trim() white space from record set

What exactly are you trying to do? trim() only rmeoves whitespace from the beginning and end of a string. It doesn't work on a record / array and it doesn't pull all whitespace from the string. $str = ' whitespace before and after '; $trimmedStr = trim($str); $noWhitespaceStr = preg_replace('/\s/', '', $str); On Wed, 21 Jul 2004 13:54:22 -0400, melissa atchley <melissa@maddesignusa.com> wrote: > thanks guys...but with all of the >>>> in the message, the syntax is not > coming through. > > I have tried adding the trim() line in several ways and it isn't working. > can you help me with the exact syntax? > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Justin Patrin" <papercrane@gmail.com> > To: "John W.
