note 85361 added to function.str-pad

@albert dot serra at camaleongroup dot com You are reinventing the wheel, and your wheel isn't even round. PHP has built-in functions which will accomplish this task and they are called rtrim and ltrim. Look at code below: <pre> <?php $string = 'HOME*******'; echo rtrim($string, '*')."\n"; // HOME $string = '*****HOME'; echo ltrim($string, '*')."\n"; // HOME $string = '*****HOME*****'; echo trim($string, '*')."\n"; // HOME ?> </pre> ---- Server IP: 82.177.164.100 Probable Submitter: 62.121.124.204 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-pad.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85361 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85361/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85361/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85361/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85361/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85361/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85361/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85361 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85361 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
