trim() will remove leading and trailing spaces.
PS: I suggest you do a bit of your own research before posting. For example, at a minimum look at the PHP man pages of the commands you are using!
Also, this:
PHP Code:
$venue = $_GET[venue];
should be
PHP Code:
$venue = $_GET['venue'];
... for faster execution time.
I will leave it to you as an exercise to Google the net and find out why.
And please, do more of your own research before asking questions
If you get in the habit of looking at your log files when trouble shooting a problem, and also reading, at a minimum, the man pages of the PHP commands you are using, you will find that you actually will save more time v. less time.
Edit: I closed this thread because it is not related to MySQL; it is related to poor string formatting. If you wish to work on PHP string formatting, please start a new thread on a specific issue. Thanks.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
php_strip_whitespace
PHP_STRIP_WHITESPACE(3) 1 PHP_STRIP_WHITESPACE(3)
php_strip_whitespace - Return source with stripped comments and whitespace
SYNOPSIS
string php_strip_whitespace (string $filename)
DESCRIPTION
Returns the PHP source code in $filename with PHP comments and whitespace removed. This may be useful for determining the amount of actual
code in your scripts compared with the amount of comments. This is similar to using php -w from the commandline.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to the PHP file.
RETURN VALUES
The stripped source code will be returned on success, or an empty string on failure.
Note
This function works as described as of PHP 5.0.1. Before this it would only return an empty string. For more information on this
bug and its prior behavior, see bug report #29606.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
php_strip_whitespace(3) example
<?php
// PHP comment here
/*
* Another PHP comment
*/
echo php_strip_whitespace(__FILE__);
// Newlines are considered whitespace, and are removed too:
do_nothing();
?>
The above example will output:
<?php
echo php_strip_whitespace(__FILE__); do_nothing(); ?>
Notice the PHP comments are gone, as are the whitespace and newline after the first echo statement.
