$subject=trim($subject);
$subject=str_ireplace("%20","-",$subject);$id=trim($id);
$id=str_ireplace("%20","",$id);
%20 is on URLs when you have space on your URL. You don't replace the "%20", you replace your spaces. This is how it should be:
$subject=trim($subject);
$subject=str_ireplace(" ","-",$subject);
$id=trim($id);
$id=str_ireplace(" ","",$id);

[edit reason] Use example.com, thanks. [/edit]
$subject=trim($subject);
//The following replaces two spaces with one.
// I think at the end you get only one space no matter how many spaces you have had before.
$subject = str_replace(" ", " ", $subject);
Habtom
$subject = str_replace("[Two Spaces]", "[One Space]", $subject);
That helps a little :)
Did you get the same output?
What is your current code?
This helps a lot now? :)
Replace the relevant lines
$subject=trim($subject);
//The following replaces two spaces with one.
// I think at the end you get only one space no matter how many spaces you have had before.
$subject = str_replace(" ", " ", $subject);
i rewrite as following;
$subject=trim($subject);
$subject = str_replace(" ", " ", $subject);
$subject=str_replace(" ", "-", $subject);
$id=trim($id);
$id=str_ireplace(" ","",$id);
and i get the result from brower as following;
http://example.com/sds---ffxdf/%2062/
but i want the final result as following;
http://example.com/sds-ffxdf/62/

. . . I think the spaces were removed when posted.
$subject = str_replace("[Two Spaces]", "[One Space]", $subject);
My code rewrite as following;
$subject=trim($subject);
$subject = str_replace("[Two Spaces]", "[One Space]", $subject);
$id=trim($id);
$subject = str_replace("[Two Spaces]", "[One Space]", $subject);
i have the result from browser as following;

function makeURLFriendly($input){
$output = strtolower($input);
$output = preg_replace("/[^[:space:]a-z0-9]/e", "", $output);
$output = trim($output);
$output = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', '_', $output);
return $output;

That should work
function makeURLFriendly($input){
$output = strtolower($input);
$output = preg_replace("/[^[:space:]a-z0-9]/e", "", $output);
$output = trim($output);
$output = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', '_', $output);
return $output;
}//function makeURLFriendly($input){
echo $input = ' My Directory & Stuff ';
echo '<br />';
echo makeURLFriendly($input); // my_directory_stuff
Your one seems work, but it just got a litter problem for now.
when my input is the "$input = ' My Directory & Stuff '", it give me the result is "my directory_stuff". not the "my_directory_stuff".
and i want to ask you what does the following two lines do?
1) $output = preg_replace("/[^[:space:]a-z0-9]/e", "", $output);
2) $output = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', '_', $output);
urlencode($linkhere)
That should work
it does not work, it give me the result as following;
++My+Directory+++++++%26+++Stuff+
<? php
$input = ' My Directory & Stuff ';
echo urlencode($input);
?>
the following format is what i want to be.
My_Directory_Stuff
function makeURLFriendly($input){
$output = strtolower($input);
$output = preg_replace(" ", "_", $output);
$output = trim($output);
$output = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', '_', $output);
return $output;
}
The compiler complains give me the following massage;
Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Empty regular expression
for the line;
"$output = preg_replace(" ", "_", $output)"
1) replace all the characters(without [a-z]) from the string by using space.
2) trim($string)
3) replace the spaces by "_".
But the 1), i think using regular expression would be better. But i forget how to use the regular expression, i am going to read then now.
