Trim not working

[dreamwest]

Im trying to trim a search query but its adding a space to each end of the query

 

$search= $_REQUEST['search'];

 

$search= trim($search);

 

So a search with a whitspace "_" at the beginning

 

_search here

 

after the trim it would be

 

__search here_

I don't see how trim could possibly be doing that. Try var_dump($search); after you've trimmed it, pretty sure it must be coming later in your code.

seems to me like you are trying to trim a var that is the var

 

$search= $_REQUEST['search'];

 

$search= trim($search);

 

try changing the second one

 

$search= $_REQUEST['search'];

 

$search2= trim($search);

@AE117 that won't matter at all. $search= trim($search); is fine.
