   I am trying to attach the post title to a URL but the output URL does not maintain the correct hyphens in between each word.

   <a href="http://www.domain.com/recommends/<?php echo strtolower(get_the_title()); ?>">Visit <?php the_title(); ?></a> | <a href="#review">Submit your review</a>

   Maybe there is a way to save "http://www.domain.com" as a URL and append the title to that URL? I'm stumped. Suggestions?

   Why not use a permalink tag (the_permalink or get_permalink)? Your other option is to use php str_replace.

   Because the permalink is not the same as my desired URL. The permalink would be http://www.domain.com/post1 and I want the output URL to be http://www.domain.com/recommends/post1

   So I just need a way to grab the post title and append it to a URL. But without losing the hyphens.

   I'll play a little more with str_replace but I don't think that will work.

   No, you don't want "the title". You want the "slug"!
