the easiest way would be:
<?
// -------------
// init var
$str = "";
$str = "abc def ghi";
$str = str_replace (" ", "", $str);
echo $str."<br>";
// ----------------------------
// output:
// abcdefghi
// ----------------------------
//
// or a regex:
$str = "abc def ghi";
$str = ereg_replace(" ", "", $str);
echo $str."<br>";
//if you want to strip any whitespace character:
$str = "abc def ghi";
$str = preg_replace("/\s/", "", $str);
echo $str."<br>";
// -------------
?>
preg_replace is quite powerful, so if you only want to strip
some spaces, you should prefer str_replace.
Always think about how many power you need.
str_replace -> ereg_replace -> preg_replace.
