Quick Q: How do I go about stipping tabs from a string in PHP? I seem to be able to do anything else, like spaces and words OK. I've googled a bit, but got confused. How do I manage please? Much ta

Well, I've only just started PHP... *looks into PHP book...* Hmmm... aha! trim() is designed to knock off all whitespace from a string. That might help. uk3.php.net/trim -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom! |

$t = "abba babba"; $t = str_replace(" ", "",$t); Result: abbababba -=-=- Roger Federer is go(o)d. But he is not alone. Just relax... sometimes there's no need to argue.

Or, rather: $t = str_replace("\t", "",$t); |

That looks promising. Cheers, phoenix. I never thought that a tab would be treated like a newline or other special instances, so I was treating it as text all along. Thanks @ingenium... I'd already been trying $t = str_replace(" ", "",$t); but it didn't do anything. @Shroom, I would have used that but I'm stripping from the middle of a string, however if I'd looked at that page properly, I should've been able to figure it out  Cheers-=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

\t should be it. Its the same in C if you want to put tabs in strings and stuff.
