Socoder -> Web Development -> Stripping tabs in PHP

 		Quick Q:

How do I go about stipping tabs from a string in PHP?

I seem to be able to do anything else, like spaces and words OK.

I've googled a bit, but got confused.

How do I manage

please?

Much ta

 		Well, I've only just started PHP... *looks into PHP book...*

Hmmm... aha!

trim() is designed to knock off all whitespace from a string. That might help.

 		$t = "abba babba";
$t = str_replace(" ", "",$t);

Result:
abbababba

Just relax... sometimes there's no need to argue.

 		Or, rather:
$t = str_replace("\t", "",$t);

 		That looks promising. Cheers, phoenix. I never thought that a tab would be treated like a newline or other special instances, so I was treating it as text all along.

Thanks

@ingenium... I'd already been trying $t = str_replace(" ", "",$t); but it didn't do anything.

@Shroom, I would have used that but I'm stripping from the middle of a string, however if I'd looked at that page properly, I should've been able to figure it out Cheers

 		\t should be it. Its the same in C if you want to put tabs in strings and stuff.
