Annoying white space

[Tiger99]

Is it possible to clear all the additional white space in a text before it insert into database?
I tried trim() but it only clear the beginning and end white space. Is there a function that clear the white space between characters?

eg.
Hello Bob
becomes
Hello Bob

Please help

Thanks in advance

if you want no spaces between words use:
$string=str_replace(" ","",$your_text);

Sorry I didn't mean I don't want any space between words.
But I only need one space between each word
Is this can be done??

Please help

Thanks

finds any instance of more than one white space and replaces it with one blank

$clean_value = preg_replace( '/\s{2,}/', ' ', $value );
