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

^what he said....easy to do

Copy paste that

<?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

^ recommended solution

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
