[Dilly]

Hi,
Can someone please give me an example of how i can use preg_replace for a link such as:

<?php

echo"<a href=\"make.php?id=$id&amp;modelname=$name\">$name</a>";

?>

to be changed to..

<?php

echo"<a href=\"make/$name-$id.html\">$name</a>";

?>

Thanx in advance!

[Dilly]

any one?

Is the code example above taken directly from your working script? If it is, I don't see why you would want to preg_replace anything when you are just echoing it to the browser. If this is the case, then you should just change the way it is echoed to follow the new format.

Sorry bad example, how about ..

oldfolder/old.php?id=<?php echo $id;?>

to

newfolder/new/<?php echo $id;?>.php
