This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation
better.

My first, and foremost, suggestion would be to add another usage
example. The three present examples (for ltrim) all deal with
whitespace removal. So please include one with character removal, e.g.
the "deeds" example given.
Additionally, my second suggestion is to replace the sentence "You can
also specify the characters you want to strip, by means of the charlist
parameter. Simply list all characters that you want to be stripped. With
.. you can specify a range of characters."
with
"If the carlist parameter is present, each single character given is
trimmed from the beginning of the string, repeatedly. With .. you can
specify a range of characters."

That is why the argument is called "charlist",
not "wordlist".
If you do however have a rephrase is mind, please share.

Description:
------------
Please clarify what the trim() functions actually do if the charlist
argument is present:
ltrim('deeds', 'ed');
returns:
's'
EACH single character in charlist is trimmed from the beginning of the
string, REPEATEDLY.
Please include this (or something similar) as a usage example in the
docs!
There are already 2 false bug reports filed from people who obviously
misunderstood how these functions work:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35584
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22217
To figure this out just gave me an hour-long headache ;-)
