# ltrim

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

ltrim -- Strip whitespace from the beginning of a string

## Description

string ltrim ( string str [, string charlist])

> Notatka: The second parameter was added in PHP 4.1.0

This function returns a string with whitespace stripped from the beginning of `str`. Without the second parameter, ltrim() will strip these characters:

- " " (ASCII `32` (`0x20`)), an ordinary space.

- "\t" (ASCII `9` (`0x09`)), a tab.

- "\n" (ASCII `10` (`0x0A`)), a new line (line feed).

- "\r" (ASCII `13` (`0x0D`)), a carriage return.

- "\0" (ASCII `0` (`0x00`)), the `NUL`-byte.

- "\x0B" (ASCII `11` (`0x0B`)), a vertical tab.

You can also specify the characters you want to strip, by means of the `charlist` parameter. Simply list all characters that you want to be stripped. With `..` you can specify a range of characters.

Przykład 1. Usage example of ltrim()

`<?php $text = "\t\tThese are a few words :) ... "; $trimmed = ltrim($text); // $trimmed = "These are a few words :) ... " $trimmed = ltrim($text, " \t."); // $trimmed = "These are a few words :) ... " $clean = ltrim($binary, "\0x00..\0x1F"); // trim the ASCII control characters at the beginning of $binary // (from 0 to 31 inclusive) ?>`

See also trim() and rtrim().
