modifying a url?

Hey Jason

If I have created a 'Title' entry for a blog or news article, is there any way that I can take that entry and replace all the spacing with hyphens, make it lower case etc and add it to the end of the url that PCMS generates?

Cheers

Jamie

use strtolower to convert it to lower case, and str_replace to replace the spaces with hyphons:

<?php echo(strtolower(str_replace(" ", "-",$row_recordsetName['columnName'])); ?>

Thanks Jason

Little confused where and what your example should be and go.

If I have the code as:

<a href="blog-article.php?zzBlogItems=<?php echo $row_BlogRS['ContentPageSetOrder']; ?>"">
<?php
include('WA_CMS/addtosite.php');
echo str_replace(array("<p>","</p>"),"",WA_getCMSContent($database_PowerCMSConnection, $PowerCMSConnection, 'zzBlogItems', 'Title', false, $row_BlogRS['ContentPageSetOrder']));
?></a>

I am assuming that I change the code within the <a> tags but when I do, it just shows me an error...

you are asking how to modify the link, so yes, you would edit the a href tag.

I'm not entirely sure what your expected outcome is, so can't really give you much more guidance.


this code:
blog-article.php?zzBlogItems=<?php echo $row_BlogRS['ContentPageSetOrder']; ?>


generates the link URL. if the BlogRS recordset returns a Title column and you are trying to add a title url variable, the code for the URL would be:
blog-article.php?zzBlogItems=<?php echo $row_BlogRS['ContentPageSetOrder']; ?>&title=<?php echo strtolower(str_replace(" ","-",$row_BlogRS['title'])); ?>
