Description:
------------
str_replace() error:

following construct delivers true on using phpexcelreader on ms excelfile  as 
$item if $item = ord($item)=32

that means, not all whitespaces where found with str_replaces()




Test script:
---------------
foreach($user as $key=>$item)
            {
              if(trim(str_replace(" ","",$item)) == "")
              {
                 
                  echo"<br>items:".ord($item);
              }
          }


output will be displayed with ascii 32 (space). Should be not possible.

Expected result:
----------------
dump->NULL

Actual result:
--------------
" " (space ascii 32

meant is: str_replace() doesnt recognise ascii 32 as whitespace / space.

str_replace works fine. You're just not using its result. str_replace returns the altered string; it doesn't change the original. Do:
$item = str_replace(" ", "", $item);

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
