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.
