Is it possible to add a custom keyword after a URL

Hi guys,
this is my problem.
I use wordpress and i have diffrent titles for every post. The php code for the title is

<?php the_title(); ?>

PHP:

I want to add my title after this url: http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?format=rss&FORM=RSRE&q=
That means if i have a post with this title: php tutorials
The url should be like this: http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?format=rss&FORM=RSRE&q=php+tutorials

This is the part of my php code that contains the url:

<?php

   $url="http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?format=rss&FORM=RSRE&q=php+tutorials";

   $rss=new rssFeed($url);

PHP:

I tried this already but it is not working:

<?php

   $url="http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?format=rss&FORM=RSRE&q=<?php the_title(); ?>";

   $rss=new rssFeed($url);

PHP:

Sorry, i hope you understand what i mean.

 

You can not have nested PHP tag. Whenever you start a PHP tag, you must close it (except if you are treating it as a literal):

<?php

   $url="http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?format=rss&FORM=RSRE&q=".the_title();

   $rss=new rssFeed($url);

PHP:

The above should work assuming that the_title function returns the title and not print it out.

 

Thanks PHPMaster for your reply.
I tried what you said. But it is not working. Is there any other solution? I also want to replace "spaces" with "+". That means if i have php tutorials as title the output should be like this: php+tutorials

 

try:

$title=urlencode($post->post_title);
$url="http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?format=rss&FORM=RSRE&q=".$title;

 

Sorry for the late reply.

First step, is you need to open the function the_title() (search for it).

To be on the safe side (in the event that other places are using it). Change the function declaration to:

// Change
function the_title()

// To
function the_title($returnVar = false)

PHP:

Now look at the function itself, look for any echo's/print's and replace them with return if $returnVar is true. For example:

// Change
echo 'Site title';

// To
if($returnVar){ return 'Site title';}else { echo 'Site title';}

PHP:

Now your code will look like:

  $title = str_replace(' ','+',the_title(true));

   $url='http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?format=rss&FORM=RSRE&q='.$title;

   $rss=new rssFeed($url)

PHP:

Hope this helps.
