Provides user-land PHP polyfills for the [`mb_trim`, `mb_ltrim`, and `mb_rtrim` functions added in PHP 8.4](https://php.watch/versions/8.4/mb_trim-mb_ltrim-mb_rtrim).

Requires PHP 8,1, 8.2 or PHP 8.3 with `mbstring` extension. Not supported on PHP 8.4 because these functions are natively implemented in PHP 8.4.

[](#installation)

```
composer require polyfills/mb-trim
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Simply use the `mb_trim`, `mb_ltrim`, and `mb_rtrim` functions as if they were declared already.
