Help with function

kbc1

I am trying to create a method that will create a friendly url for use within my site when a field value is posted and sent to it.

So far, what i have below is not quite working and I can't see why:

function ConvertName2URL($source) {

$tempconvert = strtolower($source); // convert to lowercase (this works)
$tempconvert = str_replace("&", "&amp", $tempconvert); // replace ampersands with valid xhtml (this does not work)
$tempconvert = str_replace(" ", "-", $tempconvert); // replace spaces with dashes (this works)
$tempconvert = str_replace("'", "", $tempconvert); // replace quotes with nothing (this does not work)
return $tempconvert;

}

If anyone has a suggestion as to what a better solution to my problem woudl be I would be very grateful.

Thanks

My suggestion is that you use <form method="post"> then you don't have those problems.

If you want to know how to show it on the page again you should use [man]htmlspecialchars[/man].
