str_replace Question?

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm interested in replacing white space after a certain set of characters. The characters aren't a set number, they change depending on what the user types into the form. How would I go about doing that with str_replace? Is it even possible with str_replace or perhaps another function?

 

$value = New York (I don't want to replace the white space between the w and Y but I do want to replace the white space after k if a user uses the space key)

 

$value = str_replace(' ', '', $value);

 

Thanks Everyone

The "replace the white space after k" sounds like you want to remove it when it's at the end of the string (and maybe the beginning too). trim will do exactly that.

 

Otherwise str_replace() isn't powerful enough and you need regular expressions. Exactly when should spaces be removed?

Thanks requinix, php function trim did the trick!
