NOTE: in the examples below the $myrow array is a string array populated by an ingres select statement.

if $myrow[6] is null going into the first example then 
$myrow[6] will not be set to &npsp, but in the second example it will.  Shouldn't these two examples be equivalent?  Also strcmp function behaves like example 1.


EXAMPLE 1:

trim($myrow[6]);
($myrow[6]) == " " ? $myrow[6] = " ")

EXAMPLE 2:

trim($myrow[6]);
(ord($myrow[6]) == 32 ? $myrow[6] = " ");

I'm not asking a support question.

$myrow[6] is an empty string.

ord($myrow[6]) returns 32 (ascii for ' ')

the first character of an empty string shouldn't evaluate as ascii 32.  So this is a bug.

$myrow[6] is not an empty string because you're trim()'ing the string incorrectly. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.trim.php
