php preg_replace question.. how to get rid of a space?

$thisdate = '2011-01-18 14:52:33';

$security = preg_replace('/[^\d\s]/', '', $thisdate);

echo $security;

This results in 20110118 145233

While changing the regex is definitely the superior answer...

str_replace can also work.

$security = str_replace($security, '\s', '');

your regex matches everything that is not(^) digit(\d) or space(\s)

so if you remove the \s

preg_replace('/[^\d]/', '', $thisdate);

will replace everything except digits
