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 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?
