str_replace

Hey Jason

Am using the following to rename plain English into a permalink:

$WA_fieldValuesStr = "".((isset($_POST["BlogTitle"]))?$_POST["BlogTitle"]:"")  ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".((isset($_POST["BlogContent"]))?$_POST["BlogContent"]:"")  ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"])  ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".((isset($_POST["BlogDate"]) && $_POST["BlogDate"]!="" )?date("Y-m-d h:i:s", strtotime(str_replace("/","-",$_POST["BlogDate"]))):"")  ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".((isset($_POST["BlogTitle"]))?preg_replace('/[^0-9a-z(),]/i','-',str_replace(array("%","!","?","@","\-","/",".","\"","_","\'","*","#"),"",$_POST["BlogTitle"])):"")  ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".((isset($_POST["Live"]))?$_POST["Live"]:"")  ."";

What am I doing wrong that would make the following Don't let bootstrapping lead to handcuffing make the URL www.domainname.com/blog/don---t-let-bootstrapping-lead-to-handcuffing (ie too many '-' in the word Dont)

Thanks

Jamie

the relevant part of that line of code is:

((isset($_POST["BlogTitle"]))?preg_replace('/[^0-9a-z(),]/i','-',str_replace(array("%","!","?","@","\-","/",".","\"","_","\'","*","#"),"",$_POST["BlogTitle"])):"")

i bet the probelm is being caused by the magic quotes setting being turned on which adds a forward slash in fron t of the single quote (or actually apostrophe) in "Don't" turning it to "Don\'t"

Try adding stripslashes():

((isset($_POST["BlogTitle"]))?preg_replace('/[^0-9a-z(),]/i','-',str_replace(array("%","!","?","@","\-","/",".","\"","_","\'","*","#"),"",stripslashes($_POST["BlogTitle"]))):"")

thanks Jason but nope.. hasn'tworked...

edit. have noticed that the blog title that is being added is this Don’t let bootstrapping lead to handcuffing
The blog title is being added through aplain text form input so its not down to formatting...

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.

PM

thanks

copy the quote from your source into the array.

sorry, not sure what you mean?

from the document that you are copying the Don't let bootstrapping lead to handcuffing string. Select the Right Single quote, copy that and paste it to the array in the string_replace function.
