Error: " " is not added

Hi, I have send it to the 2 lists because I don't know if it is my error in the scripts or a bug in PHP4RC1. I have this little code: $cognome_linea = trim($cognome_linea); while(strlen($cognome_linea)< 70); { $cognome_linea .= " "; print("cog = --$cognome_linea--<BR>"); } print("cog = --$cognome_linea--<BR>"); The enter in a loop beacuse $cognome_linea .= " "; not working. If I make $cognome_linea = "foo" $cognome_linea .= " "; print("cog = --$cognome_linea--<BR>"); the result is cog = --foo-- Why this? Where is my error, if one?
