What could be the cause of unexpected characters appearing in the response body, such as "2bd VERIFIED" instead of "VERIFIED," as reported in the forum thread related to PayPal integration?

The unexpected characters appearing in the response body, such as "2bd VERIFIED" instead of "VERIFIED," could be caused by a typo or error in the code where the response body is being processed. To solve this issue, you should carefully review the code that handles the response body and ensure that it is correctly parsing and displaying the data.

// Code snippet to fix unexpected characters in response body
$response = "2bd VERIFIED"; // Example response body
$verified = str_replace("2bd ", "", $response); // Remove unwanted characters

echo $verified; // Output: VERIFIED
