copied!<p>I am trying to replace a space and forward slash in a url with a hyphen e.g www.example.com/car/<strong>bmw/porsche</strong> where bmw/porsche is one value..but it doesn't seem to be working for the forward slash.</p> <p>This is what I have for the space which works:</p> <pre><code>$name = str_replace("-", " ", $request[2]); $id = $category->find_id_by_name($name); </code></pre> <p>But when I add it for the forward slash, it doesn't work.. although it still works for the space:</p> <pre><code>$name = str_replace(array("-","//"), " ", $request[2]); $id = $category->find_id_by_name($name); </code></pre> <p>How would I change this to work?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>So I changed the code to the following:</p> <pre><code>$char = " "; $name = str_replace("-", $char, $request[2]); $id = $category->find_id_by_name($name); </code></pre> <p>Then I put the <code>$char</code> in an array like this <code>$char = array(" ", "/");</code> Which gave me the following: <code>Notice: Array to string conversion</code> Then I tried getting them by their indexes like this:</p> <pre><code>$name = str_replace("-", $char[0], $request[2]);<-- works for forward slash but not space $name = str_replace("-", $char[1], $request[2]);<-- works for space but not forward slash </code></pre> <p>I just can't seem to get them to work together :(</p> <hr> <p><strong>[NEW EDIT]</strong></p> <pre><code>class CarController extends Zend_Controller_Action { public function indexAction() { $category = new Application_Model_CarMapper(); $gcat = $this->getRequest()->getPathInfo(); $request = explode("/", $gcat); //die(print_r($request)); if (isset($request[2])) { $char = array("/"," "); $name = str_replace("-", $char, $request[2]);//<-- "-" and "$char swapped over" $id = $category->find_id_by_name($name); $this->view->title = $id['name']; //die(print_r($request)); $this->view->selectsub = $category->get_sub_cat_select($id['id']); } } } </code></pre> <p><strong>VAR DUMP</strong></p> <pre><code>array (size=4) 0 => string '' (length=0) 1 => string 'car' (length=3) 2 => string 'bmw-porsche' (length=11) 3 => string '' (length=0) </code></pre>
