Hi List, I am using stip_tags to return to me just the words contained in a page from my website but what is displayed is some thing like this : --- Output Example --- hello world Why so much space ? --- End ----- So where the tags were, whitespace is inserted or kept.

You could try: $text = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', $text); This will replace multiple whitespace chars with one space. -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
