Removing space characters from a string

[mr_burns]

Hi there,

How do I remove space characters from a string using PHP?

For example, the following string...

' hi there, my name is burnsy '

....has spaces, at the edges and inbetween the other characters. I know
I can use trim() to remove the outside ones but how do i remove the
inbetween ones so it will read:

'hithere,myname isburnsy'

Any ideas? Cheers

Burnsy

<?php
$YourString = ' hi there, my name is burnsy ';
$YourNewString = explode(' ', $YourString);
$YourString = implode("", $YourNewString) ;
echo $YourString;
?>

Hope this helps,

Bernhard Enders.

This removes spaces, tabs, carriage returns...

preg_replace('/[[:space:]]/', '', $foo);

If you just want to get rid of actual space char:

str_replace(' ', '', $foo);
