    Hi,

    I'm getting a parse error when I try and extend my php code. This is the it i have working ok so far:

    It inserts a keyword if one is used. Now I needed to remove hyphens so am trying to use this:

    but I get the parse error. I'm really no expert at this so if anyone could point out any errors I'd be very grateful. I need to insert a keyword when one is used, with a preceding word and remove any hyphens.

    Thanks

    this should work

if(isset($_GET['kw']))
{
$MainKeyWord=str_replace("-"," ",$_GET['kw']);
echo ucwords( "preceding text".$MainKeyWord);
}
else 
echo "Alternative text";
?>

    Bloomin heck! That was fast!

    kmap, thanks very much, it works a treat now!

    But I realised just now after inserting it that I also need to strip out apostrophes if they are there. Is there a neat solution for that? If it was just the apostrophes I guess the $MainKeyWord would be along the lines of:

    but I'm unsure of how to do both the hypen and the apostrophes at the same time,

    thanks again for the rapid response :)
