If you have this, it's better:
$data = preg_replace("/ /", $data);
You may want to consider "/\\s+/" if you want newlines to be collapsed
in as well.
If preg_replace is not in your PHP, so you gotta use str_replace, then
strstr is better to find the ' ' because it's probably slightly
faster than preg_match()
I suspect preg_replace() is available everywhere preg_match() is
available, but will not swear to it.
