I want to replace multiple spaces for a single space in a string. please advise on how to do it. Example code:
<?php
$input="bikash ranjan nayak";
echo $output =preg_replace('/(( )+|(\\n)+)/', '$2$3',$input);
?>
the output is coming :
"bikash ranjan nayak"
You could use a regular expression
$output = preg_replace('!\s+!', ' ', $input);
$input content
Try this one. It will display as a single space on browser
$output = str_replace(" ", " ",$input);
Try this
$output = implode(" ",array_filter(explode(" ",$input)));
$output = implode(" ",array_filter(explode(" ",$input)));$output = preg_replace('!\( )+!', ' ', $input);
try this
$output = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ',$input);
Added the extra line ($input = html_ent.....) which decodes the html entitiy's.
$input="bikash ranjan nayak";
$input = html_entity_decode($input);
echo $output =preg_replace('/(( )+|(\\n)+)/', '$2$3',$input);
Try this code
$input="bikash ranjan nayak";
$array = explode(' ', $input);
$output = implode(' ', array_filter($array));
echo $output;
One liner:
$output = implode(' ', array_filter(explode(' ', $input)));
