Question

Answer 1

+3 A:

It works for me:

var_dump(trim('|foo|', '|')); // string 'foo' (length=3)

Maybe you have some whitespace around it, or your're using the wrong pipe character? ¦ vs |

I thought you might have been on to something with the wrong pipe char, but trying this:echo trim(substr($response, strpos($response,'AF')+2),'#¦|');still results in this: You do not have any fee needed to pay.|

I copied

The var_dump gave: string(41) "#You do not have any fee needed to pay.| ", so I added in a white space character with no luck:echo trim(substr($response, strpos($response,'AF')+2),'#¦|\ ');

Answer 2

A:

Works for me:

$str = "|test string";
echo trim($str, "|");

test string

Can you show some of your code?

Maybe you want to remove a | in the middle of a string you can use str_replace

str_replace("|", "", $str);

Answer 3

A:

echo trim('|text|', '|'); // returns text

The second param was added in PHP 4.1!

Answer 4

A:

trim() only removes characters from the beginning and end of a string. If you'd like to replace characters in the middle of a string, use str_replace(), or preg_replace() if you like regular expressions.
