I need a quick way to make sure that a string is a single word with no white spaces. I would prefer that it is a command that could fit on a single line. Or at least an if block. I have a few thoughts on this but it involves things like explode(), stripslashes(), etc.
if (strpos($string, ' ') === false) { //may not work for tabs, newlines etc
    echo 'No spaces!';
} if (preg_match('/[\s]*/', $string) === false) {
    echo 'No spaces!';
} -Shawn
Second one doesn't work for some reason. No time now to test, will later. -Shawn
