[Duckie 0]

OK uh how do i make a script to where it would auto replace spaces in aim names with + but it appears with a space on the site, with the aimgo: url cmd.. so like

would be in the code:

<a href="aim:goim?screenname=asdf++asdf+sdf&message=boo"></a>

in PHP language you can use 'explode' function to remove spaces from a String or 'implode' function to put spaces into then...

explode takes a string and breaks it up into an array while implode "glues" an array back together, so if you used explode and implode you would have to do something like this:

implode("+",explode(" ",$string));

which is a huge waste of code and processor time.

I would suggest using str_replace if you want to use php for this.

str_replace(" ","+",$string);

If you don't want to use php javascript has a very similar function:

string.replace(" ","+");

If you gave me some code on your website I could help implement it for you.
