Hit a snag trying to improve the routine I used to manage CSV's I use this routine to strip the extra spaces out of a CSV list like: Bob , Joe, Dave , Ed $i = explode(",", $value); foreach ($i as $ii) { $out[] = trim($ii); } $value = implode(",", $out); Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? It seems to be having no effect on the spaces... Cheers, Dan
