I checked them in the db manually. Clicked on the name, selected it, no extra space highlighted. Cursored through the length of the value - no extra movements.

That does still not guarantee there are no extra characters. Some characters are just not visible (NUL, CR, LF, ..)

Mike Hall comes back as 10, not 9

F.B. comes back as 5, not 4.

Doesn't work for me. php > var_dump("Mike Hall", strlen("Mike Hall")); string(9) "Mike Hall" int(9) Try trimming it first and then apply strlen. Why would I need to trim something that I can already see doesn't have

any trailing or leading characters?

Because there are characters you can't see?

And the answer is - yes, there is a LF char at the end of my data in my whole table.

Now the question is - how the heck did I put that in there? Certainly not intentionally. The data is captured from a d/e screen I wrote and it simply grabs the post value and inserts a new record with that value along with some other values. And I don't see anything concatenating a LF to my string.
