function fp_trim

7.x misc.inc fp_trim($val = NULL)
6.x misc.inc fp_trim($str)

This is a simple function which attempts to trim a String. However, if $val is NOT a string, it will cast it to string.

This is to prevent deprecated warnings in PHP 8+, and can be used as a drop-in replacement in place of trim()
