ID: 43908 User updated by: Arne dot Heizmann at csr dot com Reported By: Arne dot Heizmann at csr dot com Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: Twice already I've asked "WHY" and you still haven't answered that question. Why is the whitespace being removed at all? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-25 18:24:43] felipe@php.net Because that is intentional, however, it affect results as your case, when the string is consisting entirely of whitespace. Well, anyway, maybe this isn't a good idea, it was only my idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-25 17:59:46] Arne dot Heizmann at csr dot com > The actual implementation strip trailing whitespaces, my patch also do > it, but when the string contains only whitespaces, it remove just \r > and \n. So why are you explicitly fixing only half of the bug and leaving the other half in? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-24 20:37:30] felipe@php.net The actual implementation strip trailing whitespaces, my patch also do it, but when the string contains only whitespaces, it remove just \r and \n. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-24 15:46:45] Arne dot Heizmann at csr dot com In your patch it appears that you are still deliberately removing whitespace. Why? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-24 10:35:40] felipe@php.net My suggestion: http://ecl.zoone.com.br/etc/patches/bug43908.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
