Non-breaking spaces can be troublesome with trim (as per an earlier comment): // turn some HTML with non-breaking spaces into a "normal" string $myHTML = " abc"; $converted = strtr($myHTML, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES))); // this WILL NOT work as expected // $converted will still appear as " abc" in view source // (but not in od -x) $converted = trim($converted); //   are translated to 0x40, so use: $converted = trim($converted, "\xA0"); // PS: Thanks to John for saving my sanity! -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.trim.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31556 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31556 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31556
