I noticed that sometimes PHP seems to append some extra whitespace to fields selected from a MS-SQL-database. I wasn't able to find out WHY it happens, but I am pretty sure I am able to reproduce this behavior.

Sybase Open/C client 10.0.3, Apache 1.3.1

The problem: I SELECT a field from the Database:

$res = sybase_query("select name from item",$db);
$result = sybase_fetch_array($res);

and when I try $result["name"] or $result[0] it contains

"blbla                          " <--- extra whitespace

I am sure that there are no blanks behind the words in the database. The length of the whole string is IMHO approximately equal to the length of the field in the database.  It is a littel bit strange that it happens only sometimes but when it happens, I can always reproduce it. When SELECTing more than one row not every field has extra whitespace.

This is standard SQL behavior.  If this doesn't seem right, please get back to us at php-dev@lists.php.net.
