Actually, as far as I can tell, eregi_replace would be required in this example. str_replace(' ','',$string) would erase all spaces from the string. eregi_replace(' +',' ',$string) would also erase all spaces, but would insert a single space (whether there was one or several before) in every instance. As a result, eregi_replace removes _excess_ spaces, while str_replace simply removes _all_ spaces, which might not be a good idea. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19615 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19615 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19615
