Using a regular expression to strip out all the spaces before passing to the word counting function seems easiest. You'll be left to adapt it to PHP, but the regexp is: 's/ //g' That removes all spaces. If it gives an error, try s/\ //g to escape the space. Pass the result to whatever you use to count the number of characters. -Jeff SIG: HUP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
