In a list, or from the start and end of a list.

trim only removes matched characters at the start or end of a string.

eg if you want to convert

"fred * jim ## susan" to "fred jim susan" trim will not work, as the *
and # characters are not at the ends of the string.

This line on the php.net documentation for trim is very important:

"trim — Strip whitespace (or other characters) from the beginning and
end of a string"

Note specifically that it ends "from the beginning and end of a string"
