Re: First stupid post of the year.

[Robert Cummings <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<?php

$foo = '&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;';
$foo = str_replace( '&nbsp;', ' ', $foo );
$foo = trim( ereg_replace( '[ ]+', ' ', $foo ) );

echo '['.$foo.']'."\n";

?>

I could have replaced '&nbsp;' with the empty string, but in case you
have labels with more than one word I took a normalizing approach.

Cheers,
Rob.
