See the preg_replace function.

If you want to remove blanks etc. in a variable you can use ne of the PHP trum (ltrim, rtrim) functions.

If you want to remove excessive blanks within text, thus only leaving one blank char between words, you can use the preg_replace as in[php]$string = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', ' ', $string);
[/php]
For any other character replacements you'd better follow acoder's advice and study the manual.
