If you want to remove all excessive spaces and leave just a single one, like the way HTML text gets
rendered in the browser, this function (modified from one posted here earlier) will work:
function str_squeeze($test) {
return trim(ereg_replace( ' +', ' ', $test));
}
The result is that a string such as "hello___how_are__you_" (where the _ is a space) will
result in a more sane "hello_how_are_you".
