How can I add a space to the end of a varchar string
in mysql? I can't seem to do it directly, and I tried

trimmed somewhere(?)
The reason I want to do this is so I can search for

I will insert a space at the front of the string,
where the db must accept and retain it.
BTW, here is the SQL I am working with:
//
elseif ($desc==desc) {
$sql=SELECT bandid, bandname, bandesc,
