Sorry, I'm only reading half posts today. :)
If you want to turn your + into - you'll probably have to go through one
more step and do a preg_replace(). Like
$new_url = preg_replace("+","-",$url);
I think that'll work. Again, shooting from the hip and not testing. Yeah,
baby, livin' on the wild side!
Anyway, check out this page for additional info if you need it:
