mod_rewrite change url to text title

[iBuddy]

I have a url for example:

http://domain.com/watch_7hzd1eczv85.html

Here is my current .htaccess code

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule watch_(.*)\.html$ /player.php?vidshow=$1

Okay the 7hzd1eczv85 is referring to the column filename from mysql.

However I would rather it be like this:

http://domain.com/watch_name-of-file.html

The "name-of-file" is the "title" column in mysql which actually has the title of what they are viewing.

How would I go about and make this happen? Also, the column "title" in mysql for example would say "name of file" so I would need to have dashes replacing the spaces. Please let me know how I can do this....thx

You can leave the mod_rewrite as it is. To replace space with dashes use this:

str_replace(" ","-",$STRING);

The only problem would be if you had a - in the name of them file.

That works like a charm, thanks
