I have to get rid of any spaces on either side of the
: mark. Can anyone explain why

php 3.xx

$a="to be or not      :    to to be";

$b=ereg_replace(" *:",":",$b);
  $b=ereg_replace(": *",":",$b);

works and

$b=ereg_replace(" *:|: *",":",$b); 

does not work. I've had this problem before and ended
up using two or more statments rather than one.

rm
