This little trick can be useful for calling custom functions and printing the title with out spaces for W3C compatibility. I used this trick in a new theme called Galleria, which will be out for public download in the coming days.
Using this comes in handy for a delicious text link:
<?php $title = get_the_title(); ?> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=<?php echo $title; ?>&<?php echo str_replace(" ", "%20", $title); ?>"> Bookmark This (<?php echo $title; ?>)</a>
What I am doing is calling $title = get_the_title();
and using str_replace(" ", "%20", $title);
to replace empty spaces with a %20
, which is used in URL encoding empty spaces.
Alternatively you can use a dash or underscore.

If you're just trying to make the string into a valid URL candidate, urlencode() might be a better choice- that way you don't have to worry about other characters in your title (colons, commas, punctuation, etc).

There is as "urlencode()" php function for this purpose. http://php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php
