If you need to remove the space, use trim( $variable ). Trim() removes all white space/tabs etc from the end and start of a string.
$Variable = " LOTS of white Space :-( "; trim( $Variable ); echo "*".$Variable."*"; displays *LOTS of white Space :-(* instead of * LOTS of white Space :-( * which would occur without the use of trim chop() does the same but ONLY at the end of a string. (IE: Space at the start is kept) $Variable = " LOTS of white Space :-( "; chop( $Variable ); echo "*".$Variable."*"; displays * LOTS of white Space :-(* ltrim() does the same but ONLY at the start of a string (IE: Space at the end is kept) $Variable = " LOTS of white Space :-( "; ltrim( $Variable ); echo "*".$Variable."*"; displays *LOTS of white Space :-( * Hope this helps Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "suhailkaleem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 1:05 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] Variable problem > hi ! > > yes you were right there is space between server name but still i am unable > to remove it > > > $username ,$password,$server are comming from file and they have correct > values > > $username1 = $username; > $password1 = $password; > $server1 = $server; > echo $server."test<BR>" ; > echo $password."test<BR>" ; > echo $username."test<BR>" ; > > /* > This echo > 127.0.0.1 test > excel test > suhailkaleem test > > it echo with a space between variable value and the string test .there > is space in text file at the end of these values ? > > > */ > > > > $username = "suhailkaleem"; > $password = "excel"; > $server = "127.0.0.1"; > echo $server."test" ; > // This echo 127.0.0.1test no space > > > > > /* > why is that i see space between server and string when the values come from > the text file , although there is no space in text file at the end of > server name but when i use in my script the space appears????? > */ > > > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
