Re: [PHP] strip spaces from inside string

[Michael Virnstein]

the easiest way would be:

?
// -

// init var
$str = ;

$str = abc def ghi;

$str = str_replace ( , , $str);

echo $str.br;
// 
// output:
// abcdefghi
// 
//
// or a regex:
$str = abc def ghi;
$str = ereg_replace( , , $str);
echo $str.br;

//if you want to strip any whitespace character:
$str = abc def ghi;
$str = preg_replace(/\s/, , $str);
echo $str.br;

// -
?

preg_replace is quite powerful, so if you only want to strip
some spaces, you should prefer str_replace.
Always think about how many power you need.
str_replace - ereg_replace - preg_replace.

  Say I have a string xyz abc def  and I want to remove all of the
spaces
  withing the string to create a new one.  What's the best way?

 ?

 $string = xyz abc def;

 $stringWithOutSpaces = implode( , explode(  , $string ));

 ?

 Or you can use eregi_replace(), but I don't know what the regex would be.
 I *think* you can do:

 ?

 $string = xyz abc def;

 $stringWithOutSpaces = eregi_replace(  , , $string );

 ?
