[SOLVED] making all spaces into one

[asmith]

Hey

 

Is there any php built-in function to make all spaces in the entire paragraph into one ?

 

for example :

 

 

$a =  "This      text  will  become to      this    ";

 

the output become this : 

 

$a = "This text will become to this ";

[JonnoTheDev]

$string = "This      text   will  become to      this    ";
$string = preg_replace('/ {2,}/', ' ', $string);
print $string;
