Personally, I would move your html and string parse logic into php, rather than in mysql, but that is up to you. If you want to do this in mysql.. SELECT REPLACE('De Long', ' ', ''); +-----------------------------+ | REPLACE('De Long', ' ', '') | +-----------------------------+ | DeLong | +-----------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) You could also do.. SELECT REPLACE('De Long', ' ', '%20'); +--------------------------------+ | REPLACE('De Long', ' ', '%20') | +--------------------------------+ | De%20Long | +--------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Which will url encode the space, which will allow perfectly for spaces in filenames on a web server. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
