According to me this is a bug, right trimming values is just a workaround, and make thing more complicated when we need to compare values (form) and sql values. I know there is old issues of this problem (since PHP v4.3.4), but : - Is it really a ntwdblib.dll bug ? And which V° of this file corrects the MS bug ? - It it possible to avoid this pb in MSSQL APIs ? Ref : Sql server 8.0, ntwdblib.dll V2000.80.194.0 Regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39204&edit=1
