getting rid of %20 in url?

I using php and some pages that are generated have the URL with the %20 (space symbol) in it. Is there something I can do, like maybe a htaccess code or something to get rid of this.

Here is an example:

/city.php?realtor=Acton%20California

I'd like it to look like this:

/city.php?realtor=Acton-California

 

the space makes it, just give it an underscore and its fixed.

*edit* urr. I misread your topic, uhm, now that I know you already see its because of the space, and you can make a - or _ instead, I dont really get ur question anymore?

 

Just replace the space in Action California with any other desired character.

 

Yeah... I figured it out... that was pretty stupid question.

 

You need to decode the string (it's URL-encoded). For example, in JavaScript, you would do something like this:

var decoded_string = decodeURI(my_string);

decoded_string will not contain any %xx sequences.
