Can someone tell me why this doesn't work?

Can someone explain why the first example below works and the second doesn't. The second example doesn't remove the spaces.

 

Thanks.

 

echo $trimmed = trim($c['usr2']);

 

echo"<td width='34%'>".$gangPREF."<a href='../viewuser.php?u={$c['uid2']}' {$csscode[$c['ul2']-1]}>  ".trim($c['usr2'])."</a> [{$c['uid2']}] {$RM}</td>

Could it be that in your second case, there are a few spaces in the string between > and trim()?

There is supposed to be, and it does display - just with all the spaces. It's not trimming them.

Why don't you make double sure that $c['usr2'] has what you expect it to have in it?

 

echo "***<br/>" . htmlentities( $c['usr2'], ENT_QUOTES ) . "<br />***<br />";
echo "***<br/>" . htmlentities( trim( $c['usr2'] ), ENT_QUOTES ) . "<br />***<br />";
