Yes, it was converted. But for next time, familiarize yourself with functions like addcslashes so
that code CAN be copied and pasted.

$apelido = " \302\240 \302\240 \302\240 \302\240 \302\240 David \302\240 \302\240 \302\240
\302\240 \302\240 ";

The documentation for rtrim explicitly states what characters are trimmed by default. If you
don't like that list then provide your own.

PLEASE DONT COPY THESE CODE, IT WILL CHANGE THE RESULT COMPLETELY!!!

I just copy it and paste on my php editor and the result will change.

Use the zip file from the link I provide.

Otherwise, the space char will be converted!

<?php

   $apelido = "           David           ";

   echo "Given String: \"".$apelido."\"<br><br>";
   echo "Given String with the use of php trim function:
\"".trim($apelido)."\"<br><br>";

   echo "Now we will check the ASCII table to check wich character are being
used:<br><br>";

   for ($cont=0; $cont <strlen($apelido); $cont++){
      echo "ORD: ".ord($apelido[$cont])."<br>";
   }

   $fazer = 1;

   do {
      $fazer = 0;

      //Check the beginning of the string
      if ($apelido[0] == chr(32) OR $apelido[0] == chr(194) OR $apelido[0] == chr(160)) {
         $fazer = 1;
         $apelido = ltrim($apelido, chr(32));
         $apelido = ltrim($apelido, chr(194));
         $apelido = ltrim($apelido, chr(160));
      }

      //Check the end of the string
      if ($apelido[strlen($apelido)-1] == chr(32) OR $apelido[strlen($apelido)-1] == chr(194) OR
$apelido[strlen($apelido)-1] == chr(160)) {
         $fazer = 1;
         $apelido = rtrim($apelido, chr(32));
         $apelido = rtrim($apelido, chr(194));
         $apelido = rtrim($apelido, chr(160));
      }

} while ($fazer == 1);

   echo "<br>Result String:
\"".$apelido."\"<br><br>";

?>

I am afraid that if I copy the script here the characters will be converted and the result will
change.

Thas why I provide you a zip.

If you have a repro script then include it in the report. Don't link us a .zip to download and
open.
