Is there a way to remove the whitespace so that the output is something like this? I have tried "trim()" "prg_replace()" str_replace(' ','',$contents) but none of these seem to work. --- Example of what I want --- Hello world why so much space ? --- End --- Thank you in advance for any help or pointers with this one.
