chop() whitespaces

[Anon]

I have to Remove whitespace from a string.
I tried with chop() or trim() but it didn't work. How I can do it?

I have to remove some simbol (like . from a string) I use:
<?
Sval="15.000.000";
$val=strtr("$val","."," ");
$val=chop("$val");
echo "val=$val";
?>
But it doesn't work it returns:

  val=15 000 000

I want it returns
val=15000000

Can someone help me?

One way is to use function explode which giving you the array like
$text=explode(.,$val);
and try
echo \"$text[0]\".\"$text[1]\".\"$text[2]\";
hope helped you out

or just use a preg_replace:

$new_string=preg_replace("/./","",$old_string);

That is a lot simpler.
