SEO Friendly Blog Titles (link)

[eluser]alectrash[/eluser]
when i blog a photo i store id in database as the "slug" as someone described previously, that way they have tpo be unique cause they are the primary key, in the table.

use this function i made and send it the title of a blog post:

Code:

function make_nice_url($blogtitle)
   {
      $nice_url = "";
      $nice_url_array = explode(" ", $blogtitle);
      
      for($i=0;$i<count($nice_url_array);$i++)
      {
        $nice_url_array[$i] = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", $nice_url_array[$i]);
      }
      for($i=0;$i<count($nice_url_array);$i++)
      {
          if($i ==0)
          {
            $nice_url .= $nice_url_array[$i];
          }
          else
          {
            $nice_url .= "_" . $nice_url_array[$i];
          }
      }
      $nice_url = strtolower($nice_url);
      return ($nice_url);
   }

hence:

"fried prawn and cashew nuts dinner delicous"
becomes:

"fried_prawn_and_cashew_nuts_dinner_delicous"

i.e. full url can be

http://www.matthewfedak.co.uk/blog/photo...r_delicous
