This would proberly work:
----------------------------------
function str_compress($stString) {
if (substr_count($stString,' ') == 0) {
return $stString;
}
$stString = str_replace(' ',' ',$stString);
return str_compress($stString);
}
echo str_compress('dsfsd fdf sdf sdfd sf sf sdf
sf s fdsf sdf sdf sfsfsd sfs sf ');
----------------------------------
Regards Emil
ps. I admit that I dont know if there is a built in function.
