Oracle getting results

Hi to all, I'm builder intranet site with oracle queries and results are shown in an html table. Sometimes, the field that I get is empty on the screen but by querying inside SQL*Plus or SQL worksheet the results are really there... the field is VARCHAR2[20] but I already tried with CHAR and I get the same error ... We tough about checking the "\0" at the end of the string using str_replace("\0","",$data[XXX]); but without success ... We don't understand why php is receiving an empty string and SQL*Plus not :( If someone can help me it would be great !
