[priti]

Anyone for help for this

Regards

[Dan Grossman]

$str = preg_replace("/& /", "& ", $str); 

[Christopher Hill]

$str = preg_replace("/& /", "& ", $str); 

str_replace() would be a better way, in this case.

Or

$result = preg_replace('/&\B/', '&', $subject); 

Or

$line = 'something & nothing    find it';

$line = htmlentities($line, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8', false);
#something & nothing    find it
