Hi iam re

Answer 1

Is this what you want? Note I'm using str_replace here with the search/replace args as arrays to save you doing multiple calls to str_replace()

$search = array(' & ', ' ');
$replace = array('-amp-', '-');
$url_name = str_replace($search, $replace, $entry['department_name']);

Answer 2

Put the amp replacement first.

$url_name = str_replace(" & ","-amp-",$entry['department_name']);
$url_name = str_replace(" ","-",$url_name);
