White space on the middle

[erok]

Hi everyone, I have this statement , $phone = ($_POST['phone']);$phone = trim($phone, "\" \""); // Strip off white spaces $phone = mysql_real_escape_string($phone);$phone = addslashes($phone); when user enter phone number into phone field such as;954 333 or 954333I want database register phone number to tablelike 954333 without white space, even if the user type in 954 333.I tried trim or regexp. They did not work out.What function i should use to strip off automatically any white space in the middle.Any help appreciatedErok

Use str_replace to replace a space with an empty string. Trim only removes whitespace at the front and end of a string, not the middle.

Thanks for help.This code running properly. It strips off white space. $phone = ($_POST['phone']);$phone = str_replace(" ", "", $phone); // Strip off white spaces $phone = mysql_real_escape_string($phone);$phone = addslashes($phone);Erok
