Yes and grmpf! The filename has a space at the end but it can not removed even using

     var_dump(str_replace(' ', '', $isfile);

if I put a '1' as search parameter all '1' are removed, but WHY can I not remove a space at the end? Even if a do a mv the_file_not_recognized the_file_not_recognized\<space> it is not detected... even if the var_dump() show me something like string(29) "/tmp/the_file_not_recognized " Simple to test

     exec("touch /tmp/the_file_not_recognized");
     $FILE=shell_exec("ls /tmp/the_file_not_* |head -n1");
     var_dump($FILE);
     echo "<br>";
     var_dump(str_replace(' ', '', $FILE);

Is it possible that the space is a new-line (or a carriage-return) ? What happens if you replace str_replace(' ', '', $FILE) with preg_replace('/\s+$/','',$FILE); ?
