It should be noted that doing something like ------------- $test='What is the something something something?" '; $test=trim($test, "\x22\x27");//trim single & double quotes. ------------- will not change the string AT ALL (it will not even remove the whitespace. It seems that the list of characters you specify for the trimming is not in addition to the default characters, but in replacement to them. To remove all of the normal characters AND double and single quotes, for example, call: ------------- $test='What is the something something something?" '; $test=trim($test, "\x20\x09\x0A\x0D\x00\x0B\x22\x27"); ------------- ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.trim.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40288 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40288&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40288&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
