[PHP] form posting problem - $variables get padded with spaces

[Thomas O'Neill]

Can anyone help?

Here is my problem, I am submitting a lot of hidden variables using a <FORM> and they 
come over padded with a space on the left.  
I know that I can trim() them but in case I am working with that might be more trouble 
then its worth.  This does not happin on another installation of PHP i have access to.

my configuration is as follows

REDHAT 7.0
PHP 4.0.4


Thanks in advance!
