getting tab spacing as data from database

hi all

i'm getting tab spaces from a database query where the data is nothing but empty - no white spaces or anything (in the database)

when i print out this supposedly empty data into textareas these get populated with tab spaces, and just the first row.

i've tested the empty data with strlen and it returns zero. if i print any other data into the textarea (not brought in from the database) the tab spaces go away. any ideas to what is occurring?

thanks

it would take seeing the code that reproduces the problem to help you. a copy/paste of the 'view source' of the incorrect output would help too. do you have any javascript/jquery on the page that could be altering the textarea?

 

edit: i'm going to guess that your <textarea>   </textarea> tags have the tabs between them in your source code and when you output actual data they are after the data and get trimmed off or otherwise ignored.
