note 91848 deleted from function.trim by danbrown

Note Submitter: Riven ---- As an improvement to the zero trimming notes from 'rifter at cox dot net' and 'chris dot cowart at gmail dot com' four years ago, I tweaked their code so that it will avoid trimming integers: <?php function strip_trailing_zeros($num) { if( $num && is_float($num+1) ) return rtrim(rtrim($num, 0), '.'); else return $num; } ?> Note that my version only removes trailing zeros, as that is what I required. e.g. 0.034500 becomes 0.0345. To remove leading zeros as well, you only need change the inner most 'rtrim' to 'trim'.
