bad example but you can see what iam trying.

<?php

$x="hello there i am reeedddaaarrrooowww";

$letters=array("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","v","w","x","y","z");

$e=explode(' ',$x);

for($i=0; $i<count($x); $i++){

$y=implode(' ',$letters);

if($x[$i]==strlen($y)>2){

	$x[$i]-1;

	echo $x[$i];
}

}

?>

so your final result looks like this?

 

helo ther i am redarow

[redarrow]

were the redarrow part loses the repeated charecters.

 

example goes throw the loop sees that the word redarrow got more then or 3 extrea char and get rid of them by one

 

sorry hard to exsplain.

[The Little Guy]

well... what if there is a word like:

 

hellllllllllllllllo

and the real word is hello

but if you want to remove all the repeating letters,

the word will print out helo

 

since a ll is a repeating letter. So... how will you know when to stop?
