<?php
echo rtrim('foo bar ', ' ');

if you specify a character class as the second argument (like the documentation states is legal), you get returned nothing at all.  a quick look at string.c seems to indicate no evidence of this ever working, is the code wrong, or the documentation?

Note: The second parameter was added in PHP 4.0.7

Bogusfied. By the way, I moved the note a bit more to the top (and that's an understatement). Change will appear soon on www.php.net (there seem to be some manual-generation problems, so really don't know when...)
