Hi all,
I wanna ask something, how to change capitalize to lowercase and how to replace spacing with underscore?... Because i wanna change the title of my article into database and convert them. Ex : My New Article -> change to -> my_new_article.
Is there any function in codeigniter and how to implement into controller?

Sharpe has a good solution, but you might also want to look at url_title(), which is my preferred approach.

I just read the URL Helper as you recomended and finally i can solved my problem after read the url_title() at URL Helper Guide.
Thanks Derek
