I encountered a strange problem when using the rtrim() function today:

echo rtrim(&#39;<p></p>&#39;, &#39;</p>&#39;); // 输出为 <p
echo ltrim(&#39;www.php.cn&#39;,&#39;www.&#39;); // 输出为 php.cn

, and the second line would output jb51.net.

This problem has troubled me for a long time, and I have never found the reason. Later I found the answer in the manual:

rtrim() replaces characters in units, not String. When replacing from right to left, the 6 characters of

will definitely be replaced. When going to the left, > is encountered, because > is also included in the string of the second parameter of rtirm() (< /p>), so it is also replaced. When p is encountered when going to the left, p is not included in the string of the second parameter. So the substitution stops and

It can be seen that the second parameter of rtrim, ltrim and trim is used as a set of character lists for matching operations. . This is different from the replacement operation of the <a href="http://www.php.cn/wiki/1372.html" target="_blank">str_replace</a> function we have known before.
