If Statement help

[CodeWriter]

The code adds a space after the $selleruser2 variable for some reason.

Any help on this problem would be appreciated.

$productsdb=file("Database/Usersfile.txt");

foreach($productsdb as $key1=>$val1) 
{$products[$key1]=explode("||",$val1);}

for($k1=0;$k1<sizeof($productsdb);$k1++) 
{
$selleruser2=$_POST["selleruser"];

if ($selleruser2==$products[$k1][0])
{
echo "match";
}
}

Use trim.

 

$selleruser2=trim($_POST["selleruser"]);

trim should work but fyi that code is not adding the space.

Many thanks, it worked. Just curious though, what is adding the whitespace?

could be you (or user or whatever) entering it into the form.  could be how you coded the form, perhaps with default values or something.  Who knows? We can't begin to tell you without seeing that code.
