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>
