[SOLVED] str_replace question.

[jakebur01]

I have the variable $title which information from four columns together:

<?php
$new_title=str_replace(' ',',',$title)
?>
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $new_title; ?>"> 

 

My problem is that I am winding up with too many commas in between phrases. It is inserting a comma in between every space, I just want one comma in between words.

 

<meta name="keywords" content="HU-108C,CARBURETOR,,,,,,,RK21HU,KIT,TILLOTSON,CARBURETOR">

What does the original string look like?

Try This:

 

<?php
     $new_title=preg_replace('/\s\s+/',',',$title);
?>

now it looks like this:

<meta name="keywords" content="HU-108C CARBURETOR,RK21HU KIT TILLOTSON CARBURETOR">

<?php
     $new_title=preg_replace('/\s\s+/',',',$title);
     $new_title=str_replace(' ',',',$new_title);
?>

If you're original string looks like

$str = 'HU-108C CARBURETOR       RK21HU KIT TILLOTSON CARBURETOR';

you can do something like:

<?php
$title = 'HU-108C CARBURETOR       RK21HU KIT TILLOTSON CARBURETOR';
$new_title = implode(',',array_filter(explode(' ',$title),'nospace'));
function nospace($str) {
        return(!($str == ''));
}
?>
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $new_title; ?>">
