PHP question, I hateeeeeeeee. Easy to do i'm sure...

Hi there! e.g.

$title="i am the best"

i want the output field to be "i-am-the-best" doing a replace of spaces with dashes.

Tell me gods how to do this :D

Copy paste that

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
//try it with 
$title='  I  can     replace      several   spaces   ';
//you probably don't want to add a dash at the beginning or at the end of the $title if there is some space at the beginning or at the end
$title = trim($title);
// \s+ is the "pattern" you want to replace with dashes
$new_title = preg_replace('/\s+/','-',$title);
echo $new_title;

Have fun with title and dashes

yup that one is even better....but if he's putting in the string himself he won't be using double spaces etc......and then the first solution is faster I think...but if he doesn't know what the string will look like..the second solution is superior :)
