Automatically Adding +s between words

[Anon]

CompuTwin.com (Visitor) Apr 6, 2001
How would I go about adding a + sign between words submitted to a script? It is a content retrieval script:
Line is:

$url = "http://www.partnerssearch.com/psearch?q=$search";

When someone types in two words in the search box, it only displays 1 on the query string on my partner's site. For example, when I search for "free email", it only pulls the "http://www.partnerssearch.com/psearch?q=free"; part, not "?q=free email".

I want to be able to make it automatically format the string as "two+words+or+more", not "two words or more".

Please help me out here.

Thanks,
Josh

Well if your little search engine can take spaces then all you have to do is use urlencode($your_string) and it will be "q=free%20email". Or if you really want to convert spaces you can do str_replace(" ", "+s", $your_string);
