Shortest Question Ever #1

Is
$blah = trim($blah)
and
trim($blah)
the same?

As in, do they both store the result to $blah? (Only Yes or No required)

i dont think so, i think if you wanted to keep the trim you would have to do $blah = trim($blah); but i dont really know for sure

[pyrexyn]

thanks, anyone have a more definate answer?

i don't mean just the trim function - for any function that has a similar syntax...

[n8thegreat]

why dont you try it :P

if thats the case then im almost positive that no they arent the same. because if you use it in an if statement like if(trim($blah) == "") it does not save the trim part to the variable

do they both store the result to $blah?

how can it if you didn't assign it to anything?

the answer is

NO

lol i can only test php on my server, and my server was down so i couldn't "try it"

i write code on paper when i can't do it online so needed that info to keep going lol

thanks scoutt

[scoutt]

no you can test it on your machine. you need php and apache server and you can run php locally.

my computer is really crappy. it can't even open outlook express without getting an error. sometimes windows won't even load properly and i have to end task for explorer lol - stupid windows ME.

i've tried getting the PHP stuff, and it worked for a bit, and then it went berserk.

[pyrexyn]
