PHP 4.0 Bug #4854: trim doesn't remove the null character in a string

From: jennings@tazcomputer.com Operating system: linux PHP version: 4.0.0 Release PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug description: trim doesn't remove the null character in a string I have been storing encyrpted strings in a mysql database. When I retrieve the string and decyrpted, it appears to add null characters to multiples of 8. I then passed the string through the trim function to remove them but it doesn't trim them. I wrote the following to correct the problem for me. function mytrim($str) { $str = str_replace("\0","",$str); return $str; } TIA, James
