Re: First stupid post of the year.

<?php $foo = '&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;'; $foo = str_replace( '&nbsp;', ' ', $foo ); $foo = trim( ereg_replace( '[ ]+', ' ', $foo ) ); echo '['.$foo.']'."\n"; ?> I could have replaced '&nbsp;' with the empty string, but in case you have labels with more than one word I took a normalizing approach.
