Why not just use trim?


$string = trim($fieces[1]);

It will remove all whitespace characters from the beginning and end of the string in one go.

use trim to truncate all space before and after a text like ’ my text ’ ==> ‘my text’
Use preg_replace

$text = '      my    text      ';
$text = preg_replace("/([\\s]+)/"," ",trim($text));

out put –> ‘my text’
