String Parsing

Anon

I am trying to parse a string.
Each element that I need, is separated by an unknown number of spaces (" ")...
Explode(),Split() and strtok(), all seem to only be able to parse by a set number of spaces...Can anyone help?

Hopefully a regular expression expert will jump in here and show us how to convert multiple spaces to a single space. I know regular expressions can do this, but I've lost my example of how it was done.

I got some help, this is what we came up with!

<?php

$string = "This is a test string for parsing";
$exp_str = explode(" ", $string);

for($i=0;$i<=count($exp_str);$i++) {
if($exp_str[$i] != "") {
$string_parsed .= " ".$exp_str[$i];
}
}

echo $string_parsed;
