Preg replace help

[SJshah]

I mean spaces " ", like double/triple spaces and extra spaces on the ends of the string.
There are no new lines.

Preg replace help I need a php function including a preg replace line (or two) which will: - delete all brackets, apostrophe's, special characters - replace numbers with spaces - delete all words less than 3 characters - trim the spaces Unfortunately I'm a noob in php, and an uber-noob with regex. Is there anyone here who can help me out? Rating: 5
