remove space between words

first..sorry if my english is bad.
I'm a newbie in php world, sorry if this is a dummy question.

Here is the cases :

I have a variabel :

PHP Code:


		
			
 $word="i love her";

i want to change the variabel so it's become

PHP Code:


		
			
 $word="iloveher";

i've tried using explode.

PHP Code:


		
			
 $word="i love her"

$wordArray=explode(" ",$word);

then i'll get an array.
i use this :

PHP Code:


		
			
foreach ($wordArray as $newWord) {

    $newVar=$newWord;

}

i hoped that will make a new variabel,

PHP Code:


		
			
 $newVar="iloveher";

but it didn't work. When i checked it with

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "$newVar";

, i've got only word her . I didn't have iloveher.
If i do this :

PHP Code:


		
			
foreach ($wordArray as $newWord) {

    echo "$newVar";

}

i have the word : iloveher
But i don't want to echo it, i want to make it became a new variabel.

Can someone tell me how to do that ?.

Thx before....

PHP Code:


		
			
 $word="i love her";

$word = str_replace( ' ', '', $word );

That will replace the spaces or whitespace in the string with nothing...

In reply to this,...

what If I had a string,.. "alabama florida"

how can I make the first letter in each word a Capitol letter.

I know about strtoupper and strtolower. But all I want is the first letter.
