No, but you can use http://php.net/array_map to do the trim before
using extract.

function trim_array($array_element)
{
$array_element = trim($array_element);
return $array_element;
}
$myArray = array_map(trim_array, $myArray);
extract($myArray);

hm?!? "my way" is shorter!
:D

Only if you over-complicate it.

extract(array_map('trim', $myArray));
