note 77010 deleted from function.trim by hholzgra

Note Submitter: Hayley Watson ---- Robin Leffman's code could be improved further... <?php $string = 'This string has no whitespaces.'; echo str_replace(' ', '', $string ); ?> Of course, like Leffman's code, that only removes space characters, not necessarily all whitespace (or characters in some arbitrary $whiteSpace string). For that <?php function trimlrm ($hayStack, $whiteSpaceChars) { $char = $whiteSpaceChars[0]; $chars = str_repeat($char, strlen($whiteSpaceChars); $trimmed = strtr($hayStack, $whiteSpaceChars, $chars))); return str_replace($char, '', $trimmed); } ?> would probably work, but like the others, fails to give '..' the same specialness that it has in trim().
