note 51862 added to function.strtr

Here's a nice function for parsing a string to something suitable for URL rewriting (mod_rewrite). It translates all accented characters to their non-accented equivalents and replaces all other non-alphanumeric character with dashes: function getRewriteString($sString) { $string = htmlentities(strtolower($string)); $string = preg_replace("/&(.)(acute|cedil|circ|ring|tilde|uml);/", "$1", $string); $string = preg_replace("/([^a-z0-9]+)/", "-", html_entity_decode($string)); $string = trim($string, "-"); return $string; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtr.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51862 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51862&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51862&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51862&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51862&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51862&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51862&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
