Remove Whitespace

Whitespace is the space before and/or after the actual text, and very often you want to remove this space.

Example

The trim() removes any whitespace from the beginning or the end:

$x = " Hello World! ";
echo trim($x);

Learn more in our trim() Function Reference.


Convert String into Array

The PHP explode() function splits a string into an array.

The first parameter of the explode() function represents the "separator". The "separator" specifies where to split the string.

Note: The separator is required.

Example

Split the string into an array. Use the space character as separator:

$x = "Hello World!";
$y = explode(" ", $x);

//Use the print_r() function to display the result:
print_r($y);

/*
Result:
Array ( [0] => Hello [1] => World! )
*/
