Question

I have a quick question.

<a href="#/media/<?php echo $row['id'] ?>.<?php echo $row['news_title'] ?>">Read More</a>

Basically, it’ll show my URL once I click on “Read More”. I added the

.<?php echo $row['news_title'] ?>

before the ">

basically, it’ll show ID.THE-TITLE-HERE

However, it’s not working, it does work when i manually add in the “-” in the url for the article after the “.”, but it doesn’t work.

You’ll see what I mean if you go to http://www.krissales.com/#/media/blog

hit “Read More” and it wont show anything, but if you add a “-” between “testing” and “2” it’ll work.

Would anyone know how I could go about fixing this? Just tell me what I can do, I wanna learn at the same time while doing it.

the full .php page is at krissales.com/blog.txt

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

If $row['id'] is 99 and $row['news_title'] is “The title” then the following code will use str_replace to output “99.The-title”.

<a href="#/media/<?php echo $row['id'] ?>.<?php echo str_replace(" ", "-", $row['news_title']); ?>">Read More</a>
