   I post content via wp_insert_post() but i need to check if the title already posted.
   Also what is the function to convert title "Hannah Teter Sports Illustrated" to "hannah-teter-sports-illustrated" ?

   Please help

   // check if title $my_post_name already exists in wpdb
   global $wpdb;
   if($wpdb->get_row("SELECT post_title FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title = '" . $my_post_name . "'", 'ARRAY_A')) {
   echo $my_post_name.' already exists'; }

   google came up with this article about post slugs:
