How can I trim a string(6) " page", where the first whitespace is a 0xc2a0 non-breaking space?
I've tried trim() and preg_match('/^\s*(.*)\s*$/u', $key, $m);.
Another question: How can I reliably copy these characters? They seem to be converted to "normal" spaces, which makes it hard to debug.
preg_replace('/^[\pZ\pC]+|[\pZ\pC]+$/u','',$str);
PCRE unicode properties properties can be used to achieve this
Here is the code that I played with and seems to do what you want:
<?php
function unicode_trim ($str) {
return preg_replace('/^[\pZ\pC]+([\PZ\PC]*)[\pZ\pC]+$/u', '$1', $str);
}
$key = chr(0xc2) . chr(0xa0) . '#page#' . chr(0xc2) . chr(0xa0);
var_dump(unicode_trim($key));
Result
[~]> php e.php
string(6) "#page#"
Explanation:
\p{xx} a character with the xx property \P{xx} a character without the xx property
If xx has only one character, then {} can be dropped, e.g. \p{Z} is the same as \pZ
Z stands for all separators, C stands for all "other" characters (for example control characters)
The existing solution mention only \pZ characters. However, there are six Unicode whitespace characters that fall outside the purview of that property:
% unichars '\p{WhiteSpace}' '\PZ'
-- 9 0009 CHARACTER TABULATION
-- 10 000A LINE FEED (LF)
-- 11 000B LINE TABULATION
-- 12 000C FORM FEED (FF)
-- 13 000D CARRIAGE RETURN (CR)
-- 133 0085 NEXT LINE (NEL)
Those six are all of type \pC, and in particular, type \p{Cc}. However there are fifty-nine non-whitespace characters that are also \p{Cc}:
% unichars '\P{WhiteSpace}' '\p{Cc}' | wc -l
59
The simple version of my own test for whether something is a printable character or not is simply [\pZ\pC]; that’s what unichars uses, for example.
A more careful test would consider whether something should take up 0, 1, or 2 print positions. That requires considering whether it’s a combining Mark, which is property \pM, and also whether it has the half-width or full-width properties. For example:
% uniprops ff5e ffeb
U+FF5E ‹～› \N{ FULLWIDTH TILDE }:
\pS \p{Sm}

For those, you would need to use the non-binary East Asian Width property. These are applicable:
% uniprops -l | grep -i width
Block:Halfwidth_And_Fullwidth_Forms
InHalfwidthAndFullwidthForms
East_Asian_Width:A
East_Asian_Width=Ambiguous
East_Asian_Width:Ambiguous
East_Asian_Width:F
East_Asian_Width=Fullwidth
East_Asian_Width:Fullwidth
East_Asian_Width:H
East_Asian_Width=Halfwidth
East_Asian_Width:Halfwidth
East_Asian_Width=Neutral
East_Asian_Width:Na
East_Asian_Width=Narrow
East_Asian_Width:Narrow
East_Asian_Width:Neutral
East_Asian_Width:W
East_Asian_Width=Wide
East_Asian_Width:Wide
Those have abbreviations like \p{Ea=F} and \p{Ea=H}. There are a bunch of these:
% uninames '(FULL|HALF)WIDTH' | wc -l
454
Of course, you mustn’t go on names for these things, but on properties:
% unichars '[\p{Ea=F}\p{Ea=H}]' | wc -l
227
% unichars '[\p{Ea=F}\p{Ea=H}\p{Ea=Na}]' | wc -l
338
% unichars '[\p{Ea=F}\p{Ea=H}\p{Ea=Na}\pM]' | wc -l
1488
To show you how many, many properties these things truly have, here’s the full property dump of three different characters, run against Unicode 5.2:

Pretty stunning, eh?
If you’ve read this far and would like to know where to get the three Unicode utilities illustrated above, uniprops, unichars, and uninames, please send me mail, because the current links aren’t working right now.
Perhaps something from the multibyte string set of functions? http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-ereg.php Can't see mb_trim, but there is a set of MB safe regex functions.
G
however here is my ONLY solution, because sometimes there are UTF8 spaces:
$stringg = preg_replace('/^[\pZ\pC]+|[\pZ\pC]+$/u','',$stringg);
$stringg = preg_replace('/\s+/u', '', $stringg);
