Question

I am looking for “howto” to trim &nbsp ; entity from textContent of DOMNode. After reading text from node, it is not '&nbsp ;'. I am trying hexa, asci… but still I don’t know how to do it.

Thank you for answer.

Answer 1

dechex(ord(html_entity_decode(" ")));

Yields a0 (normal (breaking) space would be 20).
So, in text where   is decoded, you can trim with trim($string,"\xa0");

If you also want the other default trims in it:

trim($string," \n\r\t\0\x0b\xa0");
