Yes, I think you have to debug your code and find the wrong code.
trim() is used for stings not for arrays.
If you are using a code like this "$_POST = array_map( 'trim', $_POST );" be sure that there is no array in $_POST
analyse $_POST['test'][0] and unset this variable before using trim().

sure. Use the trim function in the right way.

wrong way

Code: Select all

<?php
$output = array( ' foo', ' bar ', 'baz ' );
$cleanoutput = trim( $output );

right way (single vars)

Code: Select all

<?php
$output = ' foo';
$cleanoutput = trim( $output );

right way (arrays)

Code: Select all

<?php
$output = array( ' foo', ' bar ', 'baz ' );
$cleanoutput = array();
foreach( $output as $value ) {
    $cleanoutput[] = trim( $value );
}
