If you use a multi-byte character set (ex. UTF-8), Firebird returs it
padded to (size*bytes_per_char). For example, a CHAR(10) column is
always padded to 40 characters. Whether PHP's driver should "cut" the
result to correct padding is debatable.

I'm using UTF-8 in my applications since november last year, so I wrote
a thin wrapper around ibase_* to trim everything, just like you did.
