[RESOLVED] how to take out whitespaces

[otixz]

Hello, I have a question:

I have a variable containing 10 characters but it only shows 6 numbers

Example:
$emplyoee = $_POST['text'];
var_dum($employee);

RESULT:
string(10) "060604
"

Question:
How can I take out its spaces so that it can be just 6 numbers?

Thank you very much...

trim($employee);

or

$employee = trim($_POST['text']);
