I have this input string - - Adele Gislan - Web Developer - -: - and Output'- - Adele Gislan - Web Developer - - - '
and the expected output is this string Adele Gislan: - Web DeveloperAdele Gislan - Web Developer

I use this regular expression

$urli='- - Adele Gislan - Web Developer - - - ';
$urli = preg_replace("/\-[[:space:]]+$/","",$urli);
$urli = preg_replace("/\-+$/","",$urli);

But this remove special character "-" or "- " only one time.

I try this

$urli = rtrim($urli, '-');
$urli = ltrim($urli, '-');

but isnt ideal
