ITYM "echo $str2;"

If you want to replace "#" and "*" throughout the string /and/ to
trim extraneous whitespace at the beginning or end of your string,
you can call trim() on the string returned by str_replace():

$str1 = ' *foo* bar## ';
$str2 = trim(str_replace(array('#','*'), '', $str1));
echo $str2;
