[SOLVED] removing extra spacing from password

[vinpkl]

hi all

 

some of the customers have saved their password in the notepad file.

 

when they copy it, sometimes extra blank spaces get copied in the begining or end of the password with which password becomes incorrect.

 

so i m trying to accept the password without the extra spaces in beginging and end of the password entered.

 

i tried

$password=trim(base64_encode($_REQUEST['password']));

 

but still its accepting the blank spaces and showing mesage password is incorect.

 

if i enter password manually then it works fine.

What I meant to say was, trim it before the base64_encode

trim does what it does, regardless of the string you feed it.  If something is "not working" then there's something else going on.  Maybe you are doing a case-sensitive string comparison and you aren't entering it in right or something. Who knows?
