If what you need is delete a string instead of character, this function could help you:
<?php
function trimString($input, $string){
$input = trim($input);
$startPattern = "/^($string)+/i";
$endPattern = "/($string)+$/i";
return trim(preg_replace($endPattern, '',
preg_replace($startPattern,'',$input)));
}
?>
Use:
<?php
echo trimString(" Hello world!. I said hello", "hello")
?>
Will return:
world!. I said
