same String values in PHP are not equal?

I am comparing two same string values in PHP but the result says they are not equal. here is the code

 $s = $fname;
 $t = $temp->get_teacher_name()." ";
 echo "<br/> s = $s<br/>";
 echo "<br/> t  = ".$temp->get_teacher_name()."<br/>";

 echo var_dump($s)."<br/>;

 echo var_dump($t);
 if($s == $t)
 {
 echo"<br/>Matching<br/>";
 }

The $fname is read from a file using "fgets" and i think it has a extra space at end because of that. Here is the result.

enter image description here

The result says they are not equals.

You can use trim() to remove whitespace from beginning and end of string.

$s = trim($fname);
$t = trim($temp->get_teacher_name());

if ($s == $t) {
    echo "<br/>Matching<br/>"; 
}
