Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The second parameter of ltrim() is a list of characters to be trimmed. In your first example, 'p' is one of the characters that will be trimmed, so this is expected.
