[FX.php List] OT: extra spaces between words not showing up

[Alex Gates]

Greetings everyone -

I just noticed a problem that I've narrowed down to NOT being related to 
FileMaker / fx.php - but it is really causing problems with my project.

If    I       type    something       like      this    in      my 
  form
and pass it either directly to FileMaker or to a new page in a session, 
the extra spaces between the words are preserved correctly.  However, 
when it is displayed (either on the next page from a session or returned 
from a find) the extra spaces are removed. (leaving it to, for example, 
"If I type something like this in my form"...)


My hunch is that it has something to do with my encoding  (UTF-8) - 
which, besides this new problem with the spaces, hasn't caused any 
problems and has allowed me to pass and retrieve odd characters without 
causing problems.

If I view the source of the page, the extra spaces are there - but they 
just won't show up on my page.


Have any of you seen anything like this???

What happens to extra spaces between words on your forms??  It won't 
even preserve the double space after the end of a sentence!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Alex
