Trim first blank space

[Anon]

How do I trim the very first blank space?

Lets say I have a string like this

$test = " Hello how are you?"

How would I make it looks like this

$test = "Hello How are you?"

trim(" ", $test); (this seems not to work)

Course the varible is comming from a form, so thats why I need the first space trimmed, if it was just a hard coded virable I would do it manually.

Sorry to waste your time, it was my fault. I was using the wront virable in my count function.

I never needed to use the trim.

$query2 = explode(" ",$query);
for($i=0;$i<count($query);$i++){
if (strstr($str,$query[$i]) && $query[$i]!="")
print $query2[$i]." is into the string!";

I should use $query2 not $query 🙂

glad it's fixed.
If you ever run into this problem again, look into substr().
