I agree with Usamah M dot Ali (usamah1228 at gmail dot com)! I think that the nomenclature of ltrim and rtrim is very poor, as it has a bias towards left-to-right writing systems! I suggest to rather call them btrim (trim at beginning of the character stream) and etrim (trim at end of the character stream), as this would be universally true without any bias. Honestly this issue doesn't amaze me, because it reflects the sad reality that quite a number of people, studying technical subjects, often don't receive any humanistic/general education in their curricula at all! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 85.127.114.222 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ltrim.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94252 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94252/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94252/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94252/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94252/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94252/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94252/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94252 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94252 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
