help with regular expression in php?

I'm trying to do ereg_replace(">(. )<", "><", $string);, however it is not working as intended. I want to remove an unknown number of spaces between >< (xml tags).

Thanks

(">[\s]+<","><")

in english

">" , at least 1 white space , "<" becomes "><"

Try ">\s+<" as your pattern. Replace with "><".

your (.) is acting as a greedy replacer. Try (.*?) instead
