Subject: [PHP] strip white space


I am not sure how to go about this and hope that someone can help here.  I 
have a variable like the following:
$team_name="BV Stars  Black";

it has two spaces between the words Stars and Black.  What I am trying to 
do is to take this variable, check for and strip the following:
1.  Leading spaces
2.  Ending spaces
3.  Double (or more) spaces in the variable leaving only one space between 
words.

Does php have any built in function that I can not find that will do this?

Thank You in Advance
Steve
