You probably want the trim function here:

$text = ' this is the test for string. ';
echo '***' . trim($text) . '***';

***this is the test for string.***

Just to round out this answer, if you wanted to accomplish the same thing using a replacement, you could do a regex replace as follows:

$out = preg_replace("/^\s*|\s*$/", "", $text);
echo '***' . $out . '***';

***this is the test for string.***

This approach might a good starting point if you wanted to do a regex replacement with perhaps slightly different logic.
