string - Replace Dash with Space in PHP

Question

I currently have this line in my code:

<div><a href="http://www.envisionforce.com/local/'.$row[website].'-seo-services">'.ucwords($row[website]).'</a></div>

And it will display a city name such as this:

Puiol-del-piu

But what I need is for it to display without the dashes and so that ucwords will capitalize the first letter of each word such as this:

Puiol Del Piu

It would be great if the code could be confined to this one line because I have a lot more going on with others stuff in the page as well.

Answer 1

<?php
echo '<div><a href="http://www.envisionforce.com/local/'.$row[website].'-seo-services">'.ucwords(str_replace("-"," ",$row[website])).'</a></div>';

In the above example you can use str_replace() to replace hyphens with spaces to create separate words. Then use ucwords() to capitalize the newly created words.
