How do I do this?

I want to use the variable used in the title for the url, what I need is to count spaces and make them be dashes on the url, for example:

Title is: How to make this
Url should be: how-to-make-this.html

How is it done?

Thanks!

 

$url = ereg_replace(" ","-",$title).".html";

 

Would u mind explaining me a bit how that works and how to use it in a link function?

 

$url = ereg_replace(" ","-",$title).".html";

What this does is searches for " " or spaces in $title, and changes them into a -
So say

$title='How to make this';
$url = ereg_replace(" ","-",$title).".html";
print $url;

Code (markup):

Should output How-to-make-this.html

If you want to learn more, read this http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php

 

and how can I create dinamicaly how-to-make-this.html and put dinamycally some info ito it

 

if you mean to use it in a URL , You need the MOD_REWRITE Using the .htaccess ...

 

and how can I do that?

 

Enjoy reading this :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

 

already read that, but cant found how do I do this

 

also this could help

<?php echo stripslashes(str_replace('+', '-', urlencode($title)));?>

then in htaccess

rewriteEngine on
rewriteRule ^(.+)Article([0-9]+)\.html(/)?$ articleDetail.php?id=$2&title=$1
rewriteRule ^(.+)\.html(/)?$ $1.php


Not sure if this will work , need a lot of tests for those things before it works ....
