<p>// When handling strings in PHP, it's common to need to remove unnecessary characters at the end of a string.<br>
// The rtrim function is a very useful tool provided by PHP, allowing precise trimming at the end of strings.</p>
<p>echo "<h1>Tips for Using the rtrim Function to Remove Specific Characters from the End of a String</h1>";</p>
<p>// Basic usage of rtrim<br>
/*<br>
Syntax:<br>
string rtrim(string $str [, string $character_mask])<br>
Parameter details:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>$str: The string to process</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>$character_mask: A set of characters to remove. By default, it removes whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines, etc.)<br>
Return value:</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Returns the string after removing the specified characters<br>
*/</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>// Example 1: Remove trailing whitespace<br>
$text1 = "Hello World!    ";<br>
$clean1 = rtrim($text1);<br>
echo "<p>Original string: '{$text1}'</p>";<br>
echo "<p>After rtrim: '{$clean1}'</p>";</p>
<p>// Example 2: Remove specific character<br>
$text2 = "filename.txtxxx";<br>
$clean2 = rtrim($text2, "x"); // Remove all trailing x<br>
echo "<p>Original string: '{$text2}'</p>";<br>
echo "<p>After rtrim: '{$clean2}'</p>";</p>
<p>// Example 3: Remove multiple specified characters<br>
$text3 = "abc123xyz123";<br>
$clean3 = rtrim($text3, "123xyz"); // Remove trailing 1, 2, 3, x, y, z<br>
echo "<p>Original string: '{$text3}'</p>";<br>
echo "<p>After rtrim: '{$clean3}'</p>";</p>
<p>// Tips:<br>
// 1. rtrim only affects the end of the string. To remove characters from the beginning, use ltrim.<br>
// 2. To trim both ends, use trim.<br>
// 3. character_mask can combine multiple characters, and rtrim will remove all occurrences of these characters from the end.</p>
<p>echo "<p>As shown in the above examples, rtrim is very flexible for handling specific characters at the end of strings, especially useful for cleaning user input or file suffixes.</p>";</p>
