TalkPHP - View Single Post - If duplicate title, add rand else, do nothing??

marxx · 02-17-2010, 05:26 PM

I'm converting title as product url which i will then insert into product table in database. eg. "Fast computer whit awesome monitor" would be "fast-computer-whit-awesome-monitor".

If users are adding same title for products, we'll add end of url some random numbers eg."fast-computer-whit-awesome-monitor-86553". When generating that random number, how do I check that there is not url whit same random number in place?

Thanks..
