more on trimming

Since this thread is running I would like to know the gurus' opinons on the similar following situation Suppose there is a variable like this $var = "This is a variable "; Now I want to strip off white spaces on the end without losing them in the middle of the sentence .. I had figured that there is a no direct way of doing it and some thing like this works $var = trim (ereg_replace(" ","",$var)); the first argument to ereg_replace is "two spaces" so that single spaces between the words are not removed then trim to remove any space on the end which may still remain. But I feel its still not a fool proof solution because there may be two spaces in between words some where also which will then be clubbed together. Any body has a better idea.
