lets say I have a line of text with multiple spaces between each word..
I am not sure how many spaces. I would like to take the line of text,
and change it to put only one space between the words.
So, my idea was to split it on the spaces, then implode it with one
space between each word.
But, this doesn't work:
preg_split("/\\s*/","test test test test")
I would think that the regular expression would match multiple spaces,
and split on that, but instead it just breaks apart each character of
the string.
How can I break it apart so I get something like:
Array (
[0] => "test",
[1] => "test",
[2] => "test"
)

If you just want to replace multiple blanks between words try:
$string = preg_replace("/\s+/", " ", $string);

Replace * with +

Hello:
Using PHP 4.3.11
The line: $strDate = preg_split('//', $my_date);
works to break apart a date in the form mm/dd/yyyy or mm.dd.yyyy or
mm-dd-yyyy
but the line: $strDate = preg_split('//', $my_date);
doesn't work.

Why preg_split works only if the char # before the delimiter is 21 or less?
example php code:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
