Question

I have a variable as shown below with upper case initials and a space. What would be ideal way to format so that it lower case the initials and puts "-" dash in between. So end result should be "los-angeles":

$city = "Los Angeles";

convert to

$city ="los-angeles";

Answer 1

str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower($city));

But if you’re trying to create url it won’t be enough.
