Trying to validate form with ajax. Same code, different behaviour

I'm working on a project in my dev site that has exactly the same code as my production one.

It's a simple form validation using ajax. Here's the code for dispuser.php:

$username = protect($_POST['user_name']);
$dispuser = new user();
$dispuser->username = $username;
$res = $dispuser->get("all");
$num = mysql_num_rows($res);

if ($num>0)
{
    echo "no";
}
else
{
    echo "yes";
}

Here's the javascript code:

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $("#username").blur(function()
    {
        $("#msgbox").removeClass().addClass('messagebox').text('Verificando...').fadeIn("slow");
        $.post("./dispuser.php",{ user_name:$(this).val() } ,function(data)
        {
            if(data=='no')
            {   
                document.getElementById("submitBT").disabled = true;
                $("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function()
                { 
                    $(this).html('Not available').addClass('messageboxerror').fadeTo(900,1);
                });     
            }
            else
            {
                $("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function()
                { 
                    document.getElementById("submitBT").disabled = false;   
                    $(this).html('Available!').addClass('messageboxok').fadeTo(900,1);           
                });
            }
        });
    });
});

And here's the html code:

<td><label for="username">Usuário: </label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="username" id="username" /></td>
<td><span id="msgbox" style="display:none; no-padding;"></span></td>

I already tracked the response with firebug and everything is ok! (returns "yes" when user available and "no" when not available.

I have the exact same code in: pp.atoanavida.com.br/registro.php and in www.pesometro.com.br/registro.php

You can try with user "atoanavida". It's not available and both databases are exactly the same.

My problem: My production site is working OK, showing the right message when the user is/isn't available. On my dev site, which has the same code, the script always shows "user available".

For some reason the data returned is "\nNo" as in NewLine and then no. You could fix this php side or simply trim data in javascript before the if(data == 'no')...

like so:

data = data.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
