hi its really easy just add trim in rules it will call this function here is example

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'trim|required|min_length[5]|max_length[12]|xss_clean');

umefarooq, nuclearmaker doesn't want to use form_validation.

Code:

trim($text);

You haven't searched for on Google right? A simple "trim php" solved the problem. =)

Gerep, nuclearmaker already knows about the native trim function. He was asking if CI has a solution for this.

cideveloper I got that....but it would be totally unnecessary to create a function like

$this->string->trim($text) if you can simply use trim($text)... =)
