Hi, I'm using preg_replace to strip out a bunch of unwanted stuff from
the database. However the results seem to bunch up. Here's what I'm
doing

$old = htmlspecialchars($row['name']);

$new = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Zs]/", "", $old);

the results of this are

TomSmith

instead of

Tom Smith

What do I need to add to the expression to get the desired space
between words?
