trim

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

trim — Supprime les espaces (ou d'autres caractères) en début et fin de chaîne

Description

string trim ( string $str [, string $charlist ] )

trim() retourne la chaîne str , après avoir supprimé les caractères invisibles en début et fin de chaîne. Si le second paramètre charlist est omis, trim() supprimera les caractères suivants :

" " (ASCII 32 (0x20)), un espace ordinaire.
"\t" (ASCII 9 (0x09)), une tabulation.
"\n" (ASCII 10 (0x0A)), une nouvelle ligne (line feed).
"\r" (ASCII 13 (0x0D)), un retour chariot (carriage return).
"\0" (ASCII 0 (0x00)), le caractère NUL.
"\x0B" (ASCII 11 (0x0B)), une tabulation verticale.

Liste de paramètres

str: La chaîne de caractères qui sera coupé.
charlist: Optionnellement, les caractères supprimés peuvent aussi être spécifiés en utilisant le paramètre charlist . Listez simplement tous les caractères que vous voulez supprimer. Avec .. vous pouvez spécifier une plage de caractères.

Valeurs de retour

La chaîne de caractères coupée.

Historique

Version	Description
4.1.0	Le paramètre optionnel `charlist` a été ajouté.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec trim()


<?php

$text   = "\t\tThese are a few words :) ...  ";
$binary = "\x09Example string\x0A";
$hello  = "Hello World";
var_dump($text, $binary, $hello);

print "\n";

$trimmed = trim($text);
var_dump($trimmed);

$trimmed = trim($text, " \t.");
var_dump($trimmed);

$trimmed = trim($hello, "Hdle");
var_dump($trimmed);

// Supprime les caractères de contrôle ASCII au début et à la fin de $binary
// (de 0 à 31 inclusif)
$clean = trim($binary, "\x00..\x1F");
var_dump($clean);

?>

L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

string(32) "        These are a few words :) ...  "
string(16) "    Example string
"
string(11) "Hello World"

string(28) "These are a few words :) ..."
string(24) "These are a few words :)"
string(5) "o Wor"
string(14) "Example string"

Exemple #2 Suppression de caractères dans un tableau avec trim()


<?php
function trim_value(&$value)
{
    $value = trim($value);
}

$fruit = array('apple','banana ', ' cranberry ');
var_dump($fruit);

array_walk($fruit, 'trim_value');
var_dump($fruit);

?>

L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(5) "apple"
  [1]=>
  string(7) "banana "
  [2]=>
  string(11) " cranberry "
}
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(5) "apple"
  [1]=>
  string(6) "banana"
  [2]=>
  string(9) "cranberry"

A simple function to clear extra white spaces along a string.

<?php

function TrimStr($str) 

{

    $str = trim($str);

    for($i=0;$i < strlen($str);$i++) 

    {



        if(substr($str, $i, 1) != " ") 

        {



            $ret_str .= trim(substr($str, $i, 1));



        }

        else

        {

            while(substr($str,$i,1) == " ")

            

            {

                $i++;

            }

            $ret_str.= " ";

        }

    }

    return $ret_str;

}

The following function will assist you in case you wish to trim a string but keep the parts trimmed. I'm using it to strip phrases for translation on my site.





Example:


cleanPhrase('  (this () is it)');





Will return:


Array


(


    [left] =>   (  


    [right] => ) 


    [clean] => this () is it


)





<?php


    /**


     * Trims some of the characters from the phrase


     *


     * @param string $phrase - to be "cleaned"


     * @param string $dirtyChars - the characters that need be removed


     * @return string


     */


    public static function cleanPhrase($phrase, $dirtyChars = " \t\n()[]:.\"'") {


        $len = strlen($phrase);


        for($i=0; $i < $len; $i++) {


            $pos = strpos($dirtyChars, substr($phrase, $i, 1)); 


            if ($pos === false) break;


        }


        for($j=$len-1; $j >= 0; $j--) {


            $pos = strpos($dirtyChars, substr($phrase, $j, 1)); 


            if ($pos === false) break;


        }


        


        $res = array();


        $res['left'] = substr($phrase, 0, $i);


        $res['right'] = substr($phrase, $j+1);


        $res['clean'] = substr($phrase, $i, $j-$i+1);


        


        return $res;


    }


?>

Someone posted this over two years ago, but it is still just as valid today. Frankly, it should be added to the documentation on this page. This is NOT the functionality I would expect in this case.



With all this talk about trimming array values, it should be known that accidentally using the trim() function with an array() argument ...



<?php

  $array = array(1, 2, 3);

  $array = trim($array);

  print_r($array); // prints "Array"

  echo($array); // also prints "Array"

?>



... yields the string "Array"

If you want to remove all excessive spaces and leave just a single one, like the way HTML text gets rendered in the browser, this function (modified from one posted here earlier) will work:



function str_squeeze($test) {

    return trim(ereg_replace( ' +', ' ', $test));

}



The result is that a string such as "hello___how_are__you_" (where the _ is a space) will result in a more sane "hello_how_are_you".

Yet another array trim, recursive too.

I think this one is pretty usefull, though it lacks charlist, you can add that functionality if you need to, it's not that hard ;)

Anyway, one feature that I added, and I find pretty usefull, is that it can splice an empty position if you want to



<?php

function array_trim_recursive(&$array, $splice_empty = true) {

    foreach($array as $k => &$v) {

        if(is_array($v)) {

            array_trim_recursive($v, $splice_empty);

        } else {

            $array[$k] = trim($v);

            iif(!$v && $splice_empty) {

                array_splice($array, $k, 1);

            }

        }

    }

}

?>

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);

?>

admin at semaster dot ru's array_trim function is flawed in that it will change the type of nulls and numeric variables (to strings).



Here is a better version, although it lacks charlist support:



<?php

function array_trim($var) {

    if (is_array($var))

        return array_map("array_trim", $var);

    if (is_string($var))

        return trim($var);

    return $var;

}

?>

as mentioned, a str_replace(' ', '', $string) does execute faster than Robin Leffmann's ereg_replace; however, the regular expression Leffmann supplied has the ability of also stripping out only -single- whitespaces as by his comment, whereas the blunt str_replace will simply sweep all of them away, single as cascading. one tool for each job.

Pinco Pallino

As already commented by thers the solution from Robin Leffmann to remove "all" 

the spaces from a string not only does not trim the "other" chars besides plain

spaces but is at all not faster than jayoungh5's proposal.



The only faster way I can imagine of is:



function trimall($str, $charlist = " \t\n\r\0\x0B")

{

  return str_replace(str_split($charlist), '', $str);

}



However jayoungh5's one might still be faster for very large sets of characters

to be stripped.

I have made this simple function to trim the whole string instead of just the beginning and end...



<?php



function strTrimTotal($input) {



    $input = trim($input);



    for($i=0;$i<strlen($input);$i++) {



        if(substr($input, $i, 1) != " ") {



            $output .= trim(substr($input, $i, 1));



        } else {



            $output .= " ";



        }



    }



    return $output;

}



?>

masteremployment's solution in a function, and with preg_replace() instead of ereg_replace():



<?php

function removeWhitespace($string)

{

    if (!is_string($string))

        return false;



    $string = preg_quote($string, '|');

    return preg_replace('|  +|', ' ', $string);

}

?>

Hayley Watson
09-Aug-2007 10:49


Robin Leffman's code could be improved further...

<?php

$string = 'This string  has   no    whitespaces.';

echo str_replace(' ', '', $string );

?>



Of course, like Leffman's code, that only removes space characters, not necessarily all whitespace (or characters in some arbitrary $whiteSpace string). For that

<?php

function trimlrm ($hayStack, $whiteSpaceChars)

{

    $char = $whiteSpaceChars[0];

    $chars = str_repeat($char, strlen($whiteSpaceChars);

    $trimmed = strtr($hayStack, $whiteSpaceChars, $chars)));

    return str_replace($char, '', $trimmed);

}

?>

would probably work, but like the others, fails to give '..' the same specialness that it has in trim().

Responding to Robin Leffmann:

jayoungh5 wrote a function to trim whitespace on the left, on the right, in the middle, everywhere (Below). It iterates through the string's characters. Yours, claimed to be faster, uses a regex function. I think it should be slower since I believe that dealing with a regex is iterative in nature and add to that the possibility of recursion! Perhaps your function is shorter in code lines.

I am not absolutely positive, so take this as a clue but research for a more solid truth.

Robin Leffmann
26-Jun-2007 05:13


Here's a faster way to do what's described below:



<?php

$string = 'This string  has   no    whitespaces.';

echo ereg_replace( ' +', '', $string );

?>



Output: Thisstringhasnowhitespaces.



If you want it to replace only single whitespaces instead of both single and cascading dito, remove the + in the first parameter of ereg_replace().

Hayley

trim's code can of course be simplified with some use of the trim() function....



<?php

$str = "  Words with  lots      of  spaces    ";

$str = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', ' ', trim($str));

?>



Doing the trim() first reduces the workload being put on the more expensive preg_replace().

24-Jan-2007 08:04


I use this to remove leading, trailing and "more than one" space in between words.



$pat[0] = "/^\s+/";

$pat[1] = "/\s{2,}/";

$pat[2] = "/\s+\$/";

$rep[0] = "";

$rep[1] = " ";

$rep[2] = "";

$str = "  Words with   lots      of  spaces     ";

$str = preg_replace($pat,$rep,$str);

// Output

"Words with lots of spaces"

It may be useful to know that trim() returns an empty string when the argument is an unset/null variable.

If you need to trim a string from the beginning and end of a string, then this function maybe prove handy.



<?php

function lrclean($str,$rm) {

  $i = strlen($rm);

  do {

    if (substr($str,0,$i) == $rm) {$str = substr($str,$i);}

  } while (substr($str,0,$i) == $rm);



  do {

    if (substr($str,-$i,$i) == $rm) {$str = substr($str,0,-$i);}

  } while (substr($str,-$i,$i) == $rm);

  

  return $str;

}



// prints 'text'

echo lrclean('xyztextxyz','xyz');

I had some issues using <? array_map('trim',$array) ?> when there was an array in array.  All arrays were replaced by the string "Array", drove me crazy.


Hopefully this will help someone:


<?php


function trim_array($totrim) {


    if (is_array($totrim)) {


        $totrim = array_map("trim_array", $totrim);


    } else {


        $totrim = trim($totrim);


    }


    return $totrim;


}


?>


USE:


<?php


$trimmed_array = trim_array($untrimmed_array);


?>





This function should recurse all embeded arrays.

I was accepting text pasted from a csv file into a textarea in my code. I found that even using trim was not able to get rid of the whitespace characters at the end of the string.

Finally, using this helped:



$result = trim($source,"\x7f..\xff\x0..\x1f");



Hope this saves someone few hours. All thanks to previous comment from HW for this

This staetment removes the trailing and leading whitespaces from the string..Really useful when handling the form values submitted by a visitor or analyzing a log file.



$trimmed_string = preg_replace ( "/\s\s+/" , " " , $untrimmed_string );



Note : thsi would only remove leading and trailing whitespaces. For the whitespaces in the string use any of the above methods.

Using "trim" to minimize the format of a decimal number strikes me as awkward. I would just use:



   $str += 0;



This even has the added benefit of ensuring that you have at least one digit (and thus have a valid number) even if the original was empty.

warhog at warhog dot net
07-Dec-2005 12:28


I was wondering about much of the examples given below, but the current (2005-12-07) function definition in the manual is not correct.



The function trim is defined as



trim(string string [, string charlist])



you must give the string-parameter and you can optionally add a parameter charlist - these chars are the chars to strip from the beginning and the end of the file.

(its self-evident that the default of this parameter is "\n\t\r\h\v\0 ")



hope that'll help - and that the docs are updated.. i don't know since which php-version that optional parameter can be used - i know that it works with PHP >= 4.3 & >= 5.0 . Maybe it's beeing there since 10 years and just an enormous insider :-)

Just a word of caution when looping through a batch of strings (in the thousands or more). Using trim to take off a left over character (like a comma in a csv output) will result in a much slower execution. It is better to use a tiny bit of conditional logic instead. 



I believe the reason this is the case is because of having to create a new spot in memory to temporarily handle the result of trim.



Hope this helps.

  Actually use:

<?php

...

  return rtrim(trim($num, '0'), '.');

...

?>

This ensures that a left leading decimal place doesn't get removed i.e. 00.010 should return .01 and not 01.

Here's a neat function to trim off extraneous zeros and  the decimal, leaving important numbers intact:



<?php



function clean_num($num){

  return trim(trim($num, '0'), '.');

}



echo clean_num('06000.3050');

echo clean_num('500.00');



?>



Output:

6000.305

500



I find it very handy to use when pulling data from decimal fields in MySQL and putting them into <input> fields. Makes everything cleaner :)

14-Jun-2005 09:54


here's a heads up folks.



in the event that you want to check the result of a trim for being empty the following code fails::



$emptyvar = " ";

if ( empty(trim($emptyvar)) )

{

    echo "It was empty";

}



this code works as expected::



$emptyvar = " ";

$check = trim($emptyvar);

if ( empty($check) )

{

    echo "It was empty";

}

                         $except = Null,

                         30

                         );

      if ($r === False) {

        return PEAR::raiseError('process timeout');

      }



      // read pipe

      if (isset($read) && isset($read[0])) {

        do {

          $buf = fread($r_fp, 1024);

          if (strlen($buf) == 0) {

            fclose($r_fp);

Note that manithu's post on 29-Mar-2005 02:49 for identifying strings that only contain whitespaces will also identify strings like "0" and " 0   " as being empty.  If you want to check whether something ONLY has whitespaces, use the following:

An faster (and eleganter) way than using regular expressions to check if a string only contains whitespaces is to use trim().



Example:



<?php



if (!trim($foobar)) {

    echo 'The string $foobar is empty!';

}



?>



I hope this helps somebody.

It is important to stress that trim() only removes whitespace characters from the *beginning* and *end* of str.  To remove whitespace characters embedded within a string (newlines, for instance) you can use str_replace(), searching for and destroying both \n and \r characters.

Another way to trim all the elements of an array

<?php

$newarray = array_map('trim', $array);

?>

abderzack host provider hotmail dot com
12-Nov-2004 07:44


To eliminate all the empty strings from my array, I used the array_filter, that way : 



1.

I defined a function returning true iff the passed as parameter string is NOT empty.

function notEmpty($string)

{

return !empty($string);

}



2.Use array filter : 

$myarray = array_filter($myarray ,"notEmpty");



That's it.

Of course, if you want to prove your mama you can write unreadable code, you can create an anonymous function, by using the create_function, instead of declaring the function notEmpty.



Hope that will help you.

About trim all elements in an array.



array_filter($db, 'trim') doesn't work becouse it does NOT modify array's elements, it only returns a copy from those elements which return true on the callback function.



I think that:

foreach ($db as $key=>$value) { $db[$key]=trim($value); }

still being the best option.

Regarding the editor's note to rhelic above about how to trim all elements in an array:



I wanted a perl "chomp" of newlines for all elements in an array.

I tried array_filter for a long time, but  rhelic's straightforward way is what worked.



// chomp newlines off all elements in stations array

$stations = array_filter($stations, 'trim');   // editor's way - nope

foreach ($stations as $key => $value) { 

            $stations[$key] = trim($value); }  // works fine

You can combine character ranges and individual characters in trim()'s second argument (ditto for ltrim and rtrim). All of the specified characters and ranges will be used concurrently (i.e., if a character on either end of the string matches any of the specified charaters or character ranges, it will be trimmed). The characters and character ranges can be in any order (except of course that the character ranges need to be specified in increasing order) and may overlap.

E.g., trim any nongraphical non-ASCII character:

trim($text,"\x7f..\xff\x0..\x1f");

It took me 2 days to find out that when you use trim, to "convert" the value, then it works.



-------------------------

$thename4=trim($thename3);



$ds=ldap_connect("$myldapserver");  // connects to the LDAP SERVER

if (!($ds = ldap_connect("$myldapserver") ) ) { 

die ("Could not connect to LDAP server"); 

} 

    $r=ldap_bind($ds, "cn=".$NTusername, $NTpassword); 

    $sr = ldap_search($ds, '  ', "uid=".$thename4);  

    $info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);

-------------------------------------



only on this case you will get results.

Strange and good to know

[Editor: I botched my last note; please delete and use this one]



Non-breaking spaces can be troublesome with trim (as per an earlier comment):



// turn some HTML with non-breaking spaces into a "normal" string

$myHTML = "&nbsp;abc";

$converted = strtr($myHTML, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES)));



// this WILL NOT work as expected

// $converted will still appear as " abc" in view source

// (but not in od -x)

$converted = trim($converted);



// &nbsp; are translated to 0xA0, so use:

$converted = trim($converted, "\xA0");



// PS: Thanks to John for saving my sanity!

In response to the line mentioned above...

$clean = trim($binary,"\0x00..\0x1F");



I was also able to get

$clean = trim($binary,"\0x00-\0x1F");



to function.

NOTE:



All the above examples using ereg_replace with an escape code of \v are BROKEN! \v is NOT an escape code in PHP. Using a regexp of \v e.g.

$str=ereg_replace("[\r\t\n\v]","",$str);



will remove any instances of the letter 'v' from your string. So 'Activity' becomes 'Actiity'. Probably not what you want.



Here is a small function I use to strip whitespace from the end of strings and squash repeated whitespace down to a single space in the middle of strings:



function wsstrip(&$str)

{

$str=ereg_replace (' +', ' ', trim($str));

$str=ereg_replace("[\r\t\n]","",$str);

}

Be careful when you use the charlist with the hex-codes...



use e.g. \x22 instead of \0x22 (this last thing won't work).



An example to strip quotes ' " ' (double quotes) and " ' " (single quotes) is to do this:



$example[0]='"hello"';

$example[1]="'baby'"



foreach ($example as $key => $val)

  $example[$key]=trim($val,"\x22\x27");



# this works brilliant, but be aware:

# $example[$key]=trim($val,"\0x22\0x27");

# won't work !!!



-> tested on php 4.2.1

If you want to totally stop windows (dunno about other os's) peeps from adding spaces (say, you need to check there name against a special one to stop impersonations) use this:



$nick = ereg_replace("[\r\n\t\v\ �]", "", trim($nick));



It has the alt code 0160 added to it

Windows uses two characters for definining newlines, namely ASCII 13 (carriage return, "\r") and ASCII 10 (line feed, "\n") aka CRLF. So if you have a string with CRLF's, trim() won't recognize them as being one newline. To solve this you can use str_replace() to replace the CRLF's with with a space or something.



<?php

// string with bunch of CRLF's

$my_string = "Liquid\r\nTension Experiment\r\n\r\n\r\n";



// replace CRLF's with spaces

$my_wonderful_string = str_replace("\r\n", " ", $my_string);

// would result in "Liquid Tension Experiment   "



// or just delete the CRLF's (by replacing them with nothing)

$my_wonderful_string = str_replace("\r\n", "", $my_string);

// would result in "LiquidTension Experiment"

?>
