note 83674 added to function.trim

Has anyone seen this one : trim('bla', &); returns bl but trim('blo', &); returns blo I don't get why a is removed like this if placed at the end of the string, but, in case you want to make sure that no & are used at the begining or at the end of a string you'd better use : preg_replace('(^&|&$)i', '', $my_string); Hope this helps ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 82.66.170.151 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.trim.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83674 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83674/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83674/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83674/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83674/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83674/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83674/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83674 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83674 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
