Subject: [PHP] Reg ex help-Removing extra blank spaces before HTML
output


I want to remove all superfluous blank spaces before I sent my HTML output,
to make the output smaller.

So I'd like to take $input, replace any number of blank space or newlines
that are consecutive and replace them with a single blank.

I.e. I will list a blank space as b and a newline as n:

If input is: bbbbbTEXTHEREbbbnnnbnMOREbEVENMORE
Then output should be: bTEXTHEREbMOREbEVENMORE

I imagine this would be handled by a simple regular expression call, but I'm
no pro with them yet.

Any help?

Thanks,
Ken
