We have given a string and the task is to remove white space only from beginning of a string or end from a string str in PHP. In order to do this task, we have the following methods in PHP:
Method 1: Using ltrim() Method: The ltrim() method is used to strip whitespace only from the beginning of a string.
Syntax:
ltrim($string, $charlist)
Example :
PHP
<?php
$str = " Geeks for Geeks " ;
$str = ltrim( $str );
echo $str ;
$len = strlen ( $str );
echo "\nLength of String: " ;
echo $len ;
?>
|
Output
Geeks for Geeks
Length of String: 20
Method 2: Using rtrim() Method: The rtrim() method is used to strip whitespace only from the end of a string.
Syntax:
rtrim($string, $charlist)
Example :
PHP
<?php
$str = " Geeks for Geeks " ;
$str = rtrim( $str );
echo $str ;
$len = strlen ( $str );
echo "\nLength of String : " ;
echo $len ;
?>
|
Output
Geeks for Geeks
Length of String : 19
