Now, I know that this is easy, but I am embarassed to say that I can't
find a regex tutorial that will show me how to match any occurances of
x and replace them with one x:

xxxxx >x
xx > x
x > x

$string="I have xxxxxxxx apples!";
$string=preg_replace("-regex here-","x", $string);
print "$string";

I have x apples!

preg_replace ( "/x+/", "x", $string );
preg_replace ( "/x{1,}/", "x", $string );

But those will also change a letter 'x' in a word, so you'll probably need to tinker with that part too.
