如何删除PHP中的某些尾随字符？

Question

I'm trying to make a LaTeX parser in PHP, and I want to remove certain trailing new lines (\\ signs).

But the problem is, I only want to remove the new line (the double backslash) if it's before everything else.

Like, I want to remove the first \\ in the following example:

\\3+6=9

But not this \\:

3+\\6=9

How can I do this with PHP?

Answer 1

use trim

$arr = trim('your_string','\\');
