How can I trim/remove spaces from in between of a string in PHP?

Question

I have a string like "Tom Jerry ". I want to trim the extra space from middle of the string(there is 2 white space between first name and last name, I want only one white space). I.e. desirable output is "Tom Jerry". How do I do that?

Try this

$str = "Tom  Jerry";
$cleanStr = trim(preg_replace('/\s\s+/', ' ', str_replace("\n", " ", $str)));
echo $cleanStr;
