Remove Spaces from Middle of String

[Kevin Murphy <php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This works, but I was wondering if this was the best way to  
accomplish this or not. I'm trying to remove any extra spaces (not  
whitespace like carriage returns) from the middle of a string....  
mainly for times where people put extra spaces after periods in  
paragraph.

	while(preg_match('/  /',$data))
	{	$data = str_replace("  "," ",$data);	}

Is there a better way to accomplish this same task? (PHP 4.x). Thanks.
