Update of /repository/php3/doc/functions
In directory asf:/tmp/cvs-serv29521/doc/functions

Modified Files:
        strings.sgml
Log Message:
Take Jim's advice and make trim() strip whitespace from both ends and
create an ltrim() function that just strips at the start of the string.
Also add rtrim() alias to chop() for completeness sake.
