here's my code snippet to start with:
$url = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; // gives /test/test/ from http://example.org/test/test/
echo"$url";
trim ( $url ,'/' );
echo"$url";
I use this in combination with .htaccess rewrite, I’ll get the information from the URL and generate the page for the user with PHP using explode.
I don't want .htaccess to interpret the URL, which is probably better, but I am more common with PHP and I think it’s more flexible.
I already read this (which basically is what I want): Best way to remove trailing slashes in URLs with PHP
The only problem is, that trim doesn’t trim the leading slashes. Why?
But actually it should work. Replacing '/' with "/", '\47' or '\x2F' doesn’t change anything.
It neither works online nor on localhost.
What am I doing wrong?

To do so, go to the “Settings -> Permalinks” section and, depending on your situation, either add or delete the last slash. The “Custom Structure” field ends with a slash, so all other WordPress URLs will have the trailing slash. Likewise, if it is not present there, the slash will be missing in your website's URLs.
replaceAll("/","");
The stripslashes() function removes backslashes added by the addslashes() function. Tip: This function can be used to clean up data retrieved from a database or from an HTML form.
The trim function returns the trimmed string. It doesn't modify the original. Your third line should be:
$url = trim($url, '/');
This can be done in one line...
echo trim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');
