How to replace a whitespace in chosen username?

Question

I want to replace a chosen username with blankspaces with no spaces.

preg_replace("[ ]", "", $username);

It's searching for whitespaces `\s+ says "match a sequence, made up of one or more space characters"` — S.I., Oct 10 '16 at 05:40

Still no explanations for the `-ve` marking over to my answer :( – Naresh Kumar P Oct 10 '16 at 05:47
Maybe because it's duplicate and answer can be as comment. – S.I. Oct 10 '16 at 05:48
