note 118221 added to function.ltrim

When using a $character_mask the trimming stops at the first character that is not on that mask. So in the $string = "Hello world" example with $character_mask = "Hdle", ltrim($hello, $character_mask) goes like this: 1. Check H from "Hello world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it 2. Check e from "ello world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it 3. Check l from "llo world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it 4. Check l from "lo world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it 5. Check o from "o world" => it is NOT in the $character_mask, exit the function Remaining string is "o world". I hope it helps someone as I had a confusing moment with this function. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 195.88.182.10 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.ltrim.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/118221 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118221/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118221/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118221/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118221/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118221/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118221/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118221 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/118221 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
