Compare string in php file and string from cli

Question

when I get input from cli, I var_dump it and this showed for me:

    string(2) "Y
"

So how I understand I receive the single char and the bag of blank spaces, so this code will return false ($input == "Y"). How I can solve this issue?

You can easily remove all this whitespace using trim()

(trim($input) == 'Y')

thanks I solve it by reg exp preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\-]/', '', $line) – nowiko Jan 15 '15 at 12:58
that may work too, but it's a huge overkill if you want to just remove the spaces (and newline) – MightyPork Jan 15 '15 at 13:00
