Wordpress Templating System

Hello,

The following code will be used to make the filename part of a url, so what im doing is taking the pagetitle and replacing all gaps within in to '-' as well as making it non-caps.

PHP Code:


			
<?

$title = the_title();

$str = strtolower($title);

$newtitle = str_replace(" ", "-", $str);

?>

However I'm having a problem getting the function into the variable, at the moment the function is rendering without going into the variable...

Any ideas what's happening?

For future reference, I found that this works:

PHP Code:


			
global $wp_query;
$title = $wp_query->post->post_title;
$str = strtolower($title);
$newtitle = str_replace(" ", "-", $str);

Hope this helps someone.
