    $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);

    $trimmed = trim($hello, 'HdWr');
    var_dump($trimmed);

    // trim the ASCII control characters at the beginning and end of $binary
    // (from 0 to 31 inclusive)
    $clean = trim($binary, "\x00..\x1F");
    var_dump($clean);

    ?>

    }

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

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

    ?>

    Поданий вище приклад виведе:

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

    Зауваження: Possible gotcha: removing middle characters

    Because trim() trims characters from the beginning and end of a string, it may be confusing when characters are (or are not) removed from the middle. trim('abc', 'bad') removes both 'a' and 'b' because it trims 'a' thus moving 'b' to the beginning to also be trimmed. So, this is why it "works" whereas trim('abc', 'b') seemingly does not.

    note there is a behaviour change in php 8

    You used to be able to say:
    $p1 = trim($_POST['p1']);
    This will now throw deprecated warnings if parameter p1 is not set. It is better to say:
    $p1 = trim($_POST['p1']??'');
    or
    $p1 = isset($_POST['p1']) ? trim($_POST['p1']) : null;
    or
    $p1 = isset($_POST['p1']) ? trim($_POST['p1']) : '';

    Note that trim() is not aware of Unicode points that represent whitespace (e.g., in the General Punctuation block), except, of course, for the ones mentioned in this page.

    There is no Unicode-specific trim function in PHP at the time of writing (July 2023), but you can try some examples of trims using multibyte strings posted on the comments for the mbstring extension: https://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php
