note 112442 added to function.str-replace

To collapse multiple consecutive space characters to a single one, don't use str_replace() inside a loop--use preg_replace() instead for clarity and better performance: <?php $str = ' This is a test '; $str = preg_replace('/ +/', ' ', $str); ?> ---- Server IP: 213.172.110.14 Probable Submitter: 95.89.137.54 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112442 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112442/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112442/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112442/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112442/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112442/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112442/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112442 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112442 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
