note 77511 deleted from function.trim by hholzgra

Note Submitter: Pinco Pallino ---- As already commented by thers the solution from Robin Leffmann to remove "all" the spaces from a string not only does not trim the "other" chars besides plain spaces but is at all not faster than jayoungh5's proposal. The only faster way I can imagine of is: function trimall($str, $charlist = " \t\n\r\0\x0B") { return str_replace(str_split($charlist), '', $str); } However jayoungh5's one might still be faster for very large sets of characters to be stripped.
