I almost got close as I ended up with the " +"," " bit but I was using preg_replace which I couldn't get to work. I even went through all of the regex(7) man page stuff as per the manual. I keep a PDF version of the manual open at all times when working (I spent hours creating all of the bookmarks for all of the sections and functions) > Nevertheless, I will answer, cuz I'm a nice guy. > $string = ereg_replace(" +", " ", $string); And I really do appreciate it as I spent about 4 hours on this before begging for help.

It is based upon the manual.A4.en.pdf file. > > > >A bit lazy I guess, but I'm having trouble trying to replace multiple > > > spaces in a string. > > > > > > > >I'm concatenating variables from a form such as > > > >$string=$Salutation.$First_Name.$Initial.$Surname > > > >The string could be "Mr Grant Walters" and I want "Mr Grant Walters". > > > > > > > >I looked at preg_replace but don't really understand it.
