Pages With Spaces in title

[davo]

I've made  a listings site which lists a number of towns. Each town is a page and the title of the page is the town's name. The problem I have is some of the towns have spaces in the names. When these are listed off, if you click them, the url takes you back to the home screen. If I add an underscore in place of the space, they work fine. Is there a work around for this please?

<?php

$county = $input ->urlSegment1;

    $towns = $pages->find("template='town',County=$county");
    foreach($towns as $c){
        $list_count = $pages->count("template='listing',town_select={$c->title}");
        echo "<li><a href='http://www.garagesalefinder.co.uk/listing-parent/{$c->title}'>{$c->title} ( $list_count ) </a> </li> ";
 }

?>

Hi davo,

You should be using the name of the page, rather than the title, in the URL, eg:

echo "<li><a href='http://www.garagesalefinder.co.uk/listing-parent/{$c->name}'>{$c->title} ( $list_count )</a></li>";

Or alternately, so long as your page structure matches your URL structure, which is should unless you have done something unusual, you can simply use:

echo "<li><a href='{$c->url}'>{$c->title} ( $list_count )</a></li>";

Perfect - and thanks for the second tip ; makes perfect sense.
