trim() function help

[SF23103]

Hello,

 

I have been messing around with this and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.  I'm pretty new to php, so it might be something silly.

 

Original code:

$a1=mysql_result($result,$i,"question"); //Question
$a2=mysql_result($result,$i,"answer"); //Answer
$a3=mysql_result($result,$i,"submission_id"); //submission id
$a4=mysql_result($result,$i,"category"); //submission id

echo "<a name=\"$a3\"></a><strong>$a1</strong>$a2";

 

Prints:

 

Question

 

Category

 

What I want is:

 

Question

Category

 

I have tried using the trim functions but nothing seems to help:

 

$a1=mysql_result($result,$i,"question"); //Question
$a2=mysql_result($result,$i,"answer"); //Answer
$a3=mysql_result($result,$i,"submission_id"); //submission id
$a4=mysql_result($result,$i,"category"); //submission id
$a1 = rtrim($a1);
$a2 = ltrim($a2);

echo "<a name=\"$a3\"></a><strong>$a1</strong>$a2";

 

Ideas?

After looking at the source, it seems that my WYSIWYG editor was feeding

<p>

tags into it.  I used

$a2 = trim($a2,"<p>");

to remove the <p> tags until I can figure out how to have the WYSYWIG editor stop doing that.

 

Solved!
