php no "-" in the title of the page

ok so I have a php script which uses the pages name as the title using this code

PHP Code:


			
<title><?php if(!isset($http_title)) { echo $pg_title; } else { echo $http_title; } ?></title>

But if the page is called BLah-Blah.html the title will be "BLah-Blah"

Does anybody know what I can do so that the "-" turns in a empty space for the title.

$title = "Blah-BLAH";

$newtitle = str_replace('-',' ', $title);

[edit, I guess this was my 4000th post]

Just a word of advice, it is best to do all workings outside the html even if its just above it would be better:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
if(!isset($http_title)) 
{ 
 $szTitle = str_replace(' ', '-', $pg_title); 
} 
else 
{ 
 $szTitle = str_replace(' ', '-', $http_title); 
 }
?>

<title><?php echo $szTitle; ?></title>

The above is much more readable, and nicer to come back to when you want to make a change 3 years down the line!
