If so, it should really be in a while loop, because there could be 3 or more spaces in a row, and if the goal is only single-spaced words... //Replace 2 spaces with 1 until all words are single-spaced while (strstr($text, ' ')) $text = str_replace(' ', ' ', $text); PS My post was doing 50 LETTERS, not 50 words. So change 50 to 250 and call it done. :-) Unless the word-count is really that critical... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
