Question

Can u guys help me with a code that eliminates white spaces form the front as well as the back when inserting into my sql back of characters

For Eg: lets say that the word " hello ". Now i want to remove all these space when i enter my data in MySQL so when it gets inserted there are no more spaces either in the front or back of the word.

You can use trim():

$string = '    aaa ';
$string = trim($string);
var_dump($string);
string(3) "aaa"

This function returns a string with whitespace stripped from the beginning and end of str.
