Possibly OT, but think this group may have the solution...
Given a variable of $prodname = "Jane and the Dragon : Fair Weather
Friends";
And the operation code:
$killarray = array('and', '&', 'the', 'of', '-', ':', '.', '?',
'\'', '!', '(', ')');
$linkname = str_replace(' ', '_', str_replace($killarray,"
",makeutf8($prodname))); // Removes all surplus non-essential pieces, and
inserts http-safe spacers
while(strpos($linkname,'__') !== FALSE) {
$linkname = str_replace('__', '_', $linkname); //
Remove multiple 'spacers'
}
I get a result of $linkname = "Jane_Dragon_Fair_Wear_Friends"
As you can see, it's stealing the "the" out of "Weather" and making it
"Wear"...
If I include spaces in the $killarray items, the whole thing turns even
worse, with virtually no _ separators...
I have tried having 'the ' and ' the' (ditto for other words in the
$killarray too) but then it still does the same thing with words such as
'anders', 'sand', 'offer', 'theory' and 'menthe'...
Can anyone please assist me, as this is causing me to go prematurely
bald! -lol-
Perhaps some craftily-crafted Regex would solve it, but that's way
beyond me...
Cheers...
