Consider the following URL's:

1. stacks/leo

2. stacks/Panthera_leo

The first is "recognized" by my database and fetches
information. The second doesn't work. If I concatenate
then split the link as you suggest, will it produce a
link that looks like #2 yet is recognized by my
database?

If so, I'll learn how to do those functions.

Yes, there will definitely be spaces between words. I
haven't yet decided whether I'll replace them with -,
_ or . (period). However, I'm leaning towards
underscores ( _ ) for this particular page and hyphens
( - ) on a topics page.

Thanks.
