Question

Why do I get this result when doing a trim()?

trim( '18" x 24"', '"' )

The result is 18" x 24 whereas my expected result is 18 x 24. It only removed the last " of the string.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 😀

Answer 1

trim() only removes the specified characters from the beginning and end of the string. If you want to remove them everywhere in the string, use str_replace():

$doublequotes_removed = str_replace('"', '', '18" x 24"');
