note 82788 deleted from function.trim by hholzgra

Note Submitter: davidsteinsland [at] gmail [dot] com ---- I've noticed that many needs to remove multiple lines in the end of a string, so I made this function. Pretty easy, actually. It removes all unnecessary newlines (or something else, if $char is set) <?php function remove_unnecessary ($str, $char = "\n") { while (true) { if (substr ($str, -(strlen($char))) == $char) { $str = substr ($str, 0, -(strlen($char))); } else { break; } } return $str; } $Str = "Hello\nHello\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"; // Outputs: Hello\nHello echo remove_unnecessary ($Str); ?>
