Descrição

string ltrim ( string $str [, string $charlist ] )

Retira espaços em branco (ou outros caracteres) do início de uma string.

Parâmetros

str

A string de entrada.

charlist

Você pode também especificar os caracteres que você quer retirar, para isso, use o parâmetro charlist. Simplesmente liste todos os caracteres que você quer que seja removido. Com .. você pode especificar um intervalo de caracteres.

Valor Retornado

Esta função retorna uma string com whitespace retirados do início de str. Sem o segundo parâmetro, ltrim() retirará estes caracteres:

  • " " (ASCII 32 (0x20)), um espaço normal.
  • "\t" (ASCII 9 (0x09)), uma tabulação.
  • "\n" (ASCII 10 (0x0A)), uma linha nova (line feed).
  • "\r" (ASCII 13 (0x0D)), um retono de carro.
  • "\0" (ASCII 0 (0x00)), o byte NULL.
  • "\x0B" (ASCII 11 (0x0B)), uma tabulação vertical.

Changelog

Versão Descrição
4.1.0 O parâmetro charlist foi adicionado.

Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Exemplo de uso da ltrim()

<?php

$text 
"\t\tThese are a few words :) ...  ";
$binary "\x09Example string\x0A";
$hello  "Hello World";
var_dump($text$binary$hello);

print 
"\n";


$trimmed ltrim($text);
var_dump($trimmed);

$trimmed ltrim($text" \t.");
var_dump($trimmed);

$trimmed ltrim($hello"Hdle");
var_dump($trimmed);

// trim the ASCII control characters at the beginning of $binary 
// (from 0 to 31 inclusive)
$clean ltrim($binary"\x00..\x1F");
var_dump($clean);

?>

O exemplo acima irá imprimir:

string(32) "        These are a few words :) ...  "
string(16) "    Example string
"
string(11) "Hello World"

string(30) "These are a few words :) ...  "
string(30) "These are a few words :) ...  "
string(7) "o World"
string(15) "Example string
"

To remove leading/trailing zeroes (example: "0123.4560"), doing a += 0 is easier than trim tricks.

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.

Keep in mind the amount of resources preg_replace() uses. 
I would suggest a simple if statement if you need to parse through large amounts of data. 
<?php
function remove_leading_zeros_from_number($number_string) {
 
$limit = 9000.1
  $temp
= $number
 
(float) $temp;
  if (
$number < $limit) {
   
$number += 0;
  } else {
   
preg_replace('~^[0]*([1-9][0-9]*)$~','$1',$number_string)
  }
}
?>

Code is untested, but probably sound.

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).

The neat trick from Mr. Sherwood has only one ugly side-effect: If the "number" contained in the string is considerably large, you will end up with an int (or float) value that has nothing to do with the original number ...

You may use preg_replace instead:

$number_string = preg_replace('~^[0]*([1-9][0-9]*)$~','$1',$number_string);

This kills any leading zeros safely without changing any other data.

Hope this helps.

Function similar to ltrim only it will remove everything from the start of the string to the last occurence of anything in the  $charlist

<?php

function lstrip($string, $charlist) {
   
// removes everything from start of string to last occurence of char in charlist

   
$charlist = str_split($charlist);

    foreach (
$charlist as $char) {
       
$pos = max(strrpos($string, $char), $pos);
    }

   
$string_stripped = substr($string, $pos + 1);

    return
$string_stripped;

}

?>
