ltrim
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
ltrim — Удаляет пробелы из начала строки
Описание
string ltrim
( string $str
[, string $charlist
] )
Замечание: Второй аргумент был добавлен в PHP 4.1.0
Эта функция возвращает строку str с удаленными из начала строки пробелами. Если второй параметр не передан, ltrim() удаляет следующие символы:
- " " (ASCII 32 (0x20)), символ пробела.
- "\t" (ASCII 9 (0x09)), символ табуляции.
- "\n" (ASCII 10 (0x0A)), символ перевода строки.
- "\r" (ASCII 13 (0x0D)), символ возврата каретки.
- "\0" (ASCII 0 (0x00)), NUL-байт.
- "\x0B" (ASCII 11 (0x0B)), вертикальная табуляция.
Можно также задать список символов для удаления с помощью аргумента charlist . С помощью .. можно задать диапазон символов.
Пример #1 Пример использования ltrim()
<?php
$text = "\t\tЛишь несколько слов :) ... ";
$trimmed = ltrim($text);
// $trimmed = "Лишь несколько слов :) ... "
$trimmed = ltrim($text, " \t.");
// $trimmed = "Лишь несколько слов :) ... "
$clean = ltrim($binary, "\x00..\x1F");
// удалить управляющие символы ASCII из начала строки $binary
// (от 0 до 31 включительно)

For those who use right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, etc., it's worth mentioning that ltrim() (which stands for left trim) & rtrim() (which stands for right trim) DO NOT work contextually. The nomenclature is rather semantically incorrect. So in an RTL script, ltrim() will trim text from the right direction (i.e. beginning of RTL strings), and rtrim() will trim text from the left direction (i.e. end of RTL strings).Guys, if += 0 is producing wrong values sometimes, and preg_replace is cpu consuming, then just stick to the main function described on that page, and use:<?php
$value = ltrim($value, '0');
?>
should be the fastest and most reliable.
I think all those comments can be misleading for begginers checking this page - it's sort of using magic tricks to reinvent the wheel.
When using a $character_mask the trimming stops at the first character that is not on that mask.
So in the $string = "Hello world" example with $character_mask = "Hdle", ltrim($hello, $character_mask) goes like this:
1. Check H from "Hello world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it
2. Check e from "ello world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it
3. Check l from "llo world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it
4. Check l from "lo world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it
5. Check o from "o world" => it is NOT in the $character_mask, exit the function
Remaining string is "o world".
I hope it helps someone as I had a confusing moment with this function.
