string slugify code example

Example 1: java script converting text to slug

function convertToSlug(Text)
{
    return Text
        .toLowerCase()
        .replace(/ /g,'-')
        .replace(/[^\w-]+/g,'')
        ;
}

Example 2: php slugify function

function slugify($string, $replace = array(), $delimiter = '_')
{
    // https://github.com/phalcon/incubator/blob/master/Library/Phalcon/Utils/Slug.php
    if (!extension_loaded('iconv')) {
        throw new Exception('iconv module not loaded');
    }
    // Save the old locale and set the new locale to UTF-8
    $oldLocale = setlocale(LC_ALL, '0');
    setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8');
    $clean = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string);
    if (!empty($replace)) {
        $clean = str_replace((array) $replace, ' ', $clean);
    }
    $clean = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\/_|+ -]/", '', $clean);
    $clean = strtolower($clean);
    $clean = preg_replace("/[\/_|+ -]+/", $delimiter, $clean);
    $clean = trim($clean, $delimiter);
    // Revert back to the old locale
    setlocale(LC_ALL, $oldLocale);
    return $clean;
}

echo slugify('àa kasdlnmkl asld amlks o+s df<+ùpsfjovù+p<sjrfàp');
// returns: aa_kasdlnmkl_asld_amlks_o_s_df_upsfjovu_psjrfap
