.htaccess I have been stuck all day

hi,
I have been trying to do my .htaccess all day the best I can get is this:
to

www.ebooklobby.com/details/51/Life%2520in%2520the%2520Red%2520Brigade/?id=51&title=Life%2520in%2520the%2520Red%2520Brigade

Code (markup):

I want to get rid of the ?id=51&title=Life%2520in%2520the%2520Red%2520Brigade on the end. On the link to the page I pass the id and title parameters is there a way to remove them from the end of the url. Also I want to get rid of the %2520 characters.

The url I want is

http://www.ebooklobby.com/ebook-title/

Code (markup):

Here is the code of the .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on 
# 
# Internally rewrite search engine friendly static URL to dynamic filepath and query 
RewriteRule /([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /details.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L] 
# 
# Externally redirect client requests for old dynamic URLs to equivalent new static URLs 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /details\.php\?id=([^&]+)&title=([^&]+)\ HTTP/ 
RewriteRule ^details\.php$  [url]http://www.ebooklobby.com/details/%1/%2/[/url] [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

Post an example of the original URL and how you want it. The number will have to be there some where.

The %2520 part will have to be edited in the script.

 

thanks for the reply
original

http://www.ebooklobby.com/details.php?id=8&title=The%20Sett%20And%20Weaving%20Of%20Tartans%20&catname=Art

Code (markup):

how I want it

http://www.ebooklobby.com/art/The-Sett-And-Weaving-of-Tartans

Code (markup):

 

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/([^.]+)/([^.]+)$ details.php?id=$1&title=$3&catname=$2 [L]

You can't have it unless you have the ID there.

http://www.ebooklobby.com/id/art/The-Sett-And-Weaving-of-Tartans

Only the script can change the %20.

 

thanks that seems to work, how do I get rid of the %20, is it a regular expresion?

 

You have to edit the script so it doesn't have that in the link. That's a space in the URL. Like changing it to -.

 

the links are pulled from the database, it uses the title of the article as the link. I ain't too sure how I would edit the title to cater for the url. I was thinking of doing a regular expresion on it to replace the #20 with a -.

 

<?php
$string = 'page title blah hasdhasd';
$pattern = '/ /i';
$replacement = '-';
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
?>
I used code similar to the above to sort it out, thanks for your help.
