Wierd problem with spaces

[Anon]

I have a strange problem. my script keeps on adding a space to the end of every element in an array i created using the file() command. This sucks because it screws up my script...for instance-->

$dir = "../mydir/$list[2]/myfile.php"

..will turn out looking like this-->

../mydir/dir /myfile.php

that extra space messes this thing up! I tried using

$dir2 = ereg_replace(" ","",$dir);

but that didn't work. Does anyone know a way to get rid of that extra space????

try using
str_replace(" ","",$dir);
or
$dir = trim($dir);

good luck

try using one of the following functions
chop();
trim();
ltrim();

so if $dir is equal to ' foobar '
$dir = chop($dir);
will display ' foobar'

$dir = ltrim($dir);
will display 'foobar '

$dir = trim($dir);
will display 'foobar'
