[RESOLVED] regex help for spaces

[Shawazi]

Hello I am trying to replace every set of two whitespaces with   so that long sets of white spaces are held, but not one whitespace which may be used between HTML tags. I have code like this:

$value = ereg_replace("(\x20\x20){2,2}", '  ', $value);

It seems to cut off the last two spaces every time I run it so it would go from 8 to 6 to 4 etc...

nm i hate the differences between php and js regex

$value = ereg_replace("\x20\x20", '  ', $value);
