说明

ltrim(string $string, string $characters = " \n\r\t\v\x00"): string

删除字符串开头的空白字符（或其他字符）

参数

string: 输入的字符串。
characters: 通过参数 characters，你也可以指定想要删除的字符，简单地列出你想要删除的所有字符即可。使用..，可以指定字符的范围。

返回值

该函数返回一个删除了 string 最左边的空白字符的字符串。如果不使用第二个参数， ltrim() 仅删除以下字符：

" " (ASCII 32 (0x20))，普通空白字符。
"\t" (ASCII 9 (0x09))，制表符.
"\n" (ASCII 10 (0x0A))，换行符。
"\r" (ASCII 13 (0x0D))，回车符。
"\0" (ASCII 0 (0x00))， NUL空字节符。
"\v" (ASCII 11 (0x0B))，垂直制表符。

示例

示例 #1 ltrim()的使用示例

<?php

$text = "\t\tThese are a few words :) ...  ";
$binary = "\x09Example string\x0A";
$hello  = "Hello World";
var_dump($text, $binary, $hello);

print "\n";


$trimmed = ltrim($text);
var_dump($trimmed);

$trimmed = ltrim($text, " \t.");
var_dump($trimmed);

$trimmed = ltrim($hello, "Hdle");
var_dump($trimmed);

// 删除 $binary 开头的 ASCII 控制字符
// (从 0 到 31，包括 0 和 31)
$clean = ltrim($binary, "\x00..\x1F");
var_dump($clean);

?>

以上示例会输出：

string(32) "        These are a few words :) ...  "
string(16) "    Example string
"
string(11) "Hello World"

string(30) "These are a few words :) ...  "
string(30) "These are a few words :) ...  "
string(7) "o World"
string(15) "Example string
"

When using a $character_mask the trimming stops at the first character that is not on that mask.

So in the $string = "Hello world" example with $character_mask = "Hdle", ltrim($hello, $character_mask) goes like this:
1. Check H from "Hello world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it
2. Check e from "ello world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it
3. Check l from "llo world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it
4. Check l from "lo world" => it is in the $character_mask, so remove it
5. Check o from "o world" => it is NOT in the $character_mask, exit the function

Remaining string is "o world".

I hope it helps someone as I had a confusing moment with this function.

For those who use right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, etc., it's worth mentioning that ltrim() (which stands for left trim) & rtrim() (which stands for right trim) DO NOT work contextually. The nomenclature is rather semantically incorrect. So in an RTL script, ltrim() will trim text from the right direction (i.e. beginning of RTL strings), and rtrim() will trim text from the left direction (i.e. end of RTL strings).

Guys, if += 0 is producing wrong values sometimes, and preg_replace is cpu consuming, then just stick to the main function described on that page, and use:
<?php
$value = ltrim($value, '0');
?>
should be the fastest and most reliable.
I think all those comments can be misleading for begginers checking this page - it's sort of using magic tricks to reinvent the wheel.
