immanuelx2 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hey guys. I'm trying to get my site SEO-ready and have got the mod rewrite in the works, but I was wondering what the best way is to construct an SEO URL-friendly article title. I was thinking the PHP could handle this and store it in the database. Example: This Is a Great Article Title; With 'Quotes' and Semicolons to this-is-a-great-article-title-with-quotes-and-semicolons I'm thinking some sort of preg_replace or str_replace functions might do the job? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166423-creating-seo-news-titles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

immanuelx2 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks. Handy website, although I am very new to Regexp. If someone could provide me with an example that could strip out any special characters and just leave letters, numbers, and dashes in place of spaces I will give you a cookie Or should I post this in the Regexp subforum?
