doc nit redux

[tooth pik]

excuse me but really:  echo trim("rm<blob1><blob2><any_chars>rrmm<blob1><blob2><blob2>", "rm<blob1><blob2>")

echoes "any_chars" not any_chas

trim() is intended, and does, remove characters from the

beginning and/or end of strings, not out of the middle

I need to learn to have more faith in myself

Hi,

If you tested it, I'm sure you've seen the result. I only looked at the docs, wondered about the missing "r" and thought "that's because it's part of the mask and the rest of the result isn't". So, I was wrong and this does look like a doc bug!

I noticed last moment that this is not a good example, doesn't really
help the user understand how it works. This should be better:

Examples: >
echo trim(" some text ")
< returns "some text" >
echo trim(" \r\t\t\r RESERVE \t\n\x0B\xA0") . "_TAIL"
< returns "RESERVE_TAIL" >
echo trim("rm<Xrm<>X>rrm", "rm<>")
< returns "Xrm<>X" (characters in the middle are not removed)
