Question

I have an email address enclosed in single quotes:

$email = "'[e-mail]'";

I want to remove the single quotes to obtain:

$email = "[e-mail]";

I think [e-mail] itself may also contain single quotes if I am not wrong. Is there a neat solution for this?

Answer 1

You can use the function trim() to remove the enclosing single quotes:

$email = trim($email, "'");
