This could be used to remove extra spaces from the middle of a string:
| <?
$str = "This is just some text";
// use two spaces for the seperator
while (sizeof ($array=explode (" ",$str)) != 1)
{
// use one space for the glue
$str = implode (" ",$array);
}
echo $str;
?> | |
Result: "This is just some text"

Try it this why it`s easier
<?
$str = "This is just some text";
$str=ereg_replace(` `, ` `, $str);
echo $str;
?>

Almost but not quite.
If you example (difficult to see) was to replace all double spaces with single ones then it would not work on three spaces. The first double would get replaced but the following single would then be left alone, giving a result of 2 spaces.
What you acually need to do is:-
<? php
$str = "This is just some text";
$str=ereg_replace(` +`, ` `, $str); // N.B. single spaces in both sets of quotes
echo $str;
?>
This would test for one or more spaces and replace them with a single spaces.
