Answer 1

I know this is an old question, but I'd like to point out that the accepted answer is suggesting a function that is deprecated as of JavaScript version 1.5.

Instead, you should use either encodeURI() or encodeURIComponent() for sending spaces and other special characters.

var param = encodeURIComponent("word second "); 
console.log(param); // outputs 'word%20second%20'

PHP on the other end will handle the decoding automatically. You should trim server side, as client side code can be edited by users to circumvent trimming, potentially causing bugs or vulnerabilities.
