%20 in URLs

Hi all

I am looking for the best way to change the %20 in my URL's to a -

I currently make the URL like this

echo"<td><a href='further-info/$id/$make/$model' class='no_under'>$make $model</a></td>";

PHP:

But as the model field has spaces in it makes a URL like this.

http://www.my-site.co.uk/dual_control_car_hire/further-info/28/BMW/Mini%20Cooper%20-%201.6%20diesel

But I want one like
http://www.my-site.co.uk/dual_control_car_hire/further-info/28/BMW/Mini-Cooper---1.6-diesel

Cheers
John

 

Are you looking for something like this in php?
$myurl = str_replace(" ", "-", $myurl);

 

NeoCambell is right, you can replace the spaces with hyphens using str_replace. Just make sure you use it before you require it:

// URLify the url
$makeURL  = str_replace(" ", "-", $make);
$modelURL = str_replace(" ", "-", $model);

// Print out table cell
echo"<td><a href='further-info/$id/$makeURL/$modelURL' class='no_under'>$make $model</a></td>";

PHP:

 

Cheers guys yeah managed to sort it now.
