Perl --> PHP

[Anon]

The perl code :
if ($query) {
while ($query =~ /^\s/)
{
$query =~ s/^\s//g;
}
}

How to change it to php code?

[Anon]

I think the perl could be written with just :
$query =~ s/^\s+//s;

the php equiv would be:
$query = preg_replace( "/^\s+/", "", $query );

One new problem following:

If I want to parse
" php is good programming language "

to

"php is good programming language"

Any suggestion?
I am very new in php...

Check out the trim() function.

oops,
After looking at the source of this page and seeing the original string that would be:

$string = trim( preg_replace( "/\s+/", " ", $string ));
