I use this to remove leading, trailing and "more than one" space in between words.
$pat[0] = "/^\s+/";
$pat[1] = "/\s{2,}/";
$pat[2] = "/\s+\$/";
$rep[0] = "";
$rep[1] = " ";
$rep[2] = "";
$str = " Words with lots of spaces ";
$str = preg_replace($pat,$rep,$str);
// Output
"Words with lots of spaces"
