Improve converting string to readable urls
问题 The following function rewrites urls from news and product titles that contain all sorts of characters. The string I wish to create consists of only alphanumeric values and "-", but no ending "-" or whitespace and no repeated "-". The below function works fine, but I wondered if there is any way to write it simpler or more efficient? function urlName($string) { $string = trim($string); // no open ends $string = strtolower($string); // all lowercase $string = strtr($string, 'äöåÄÖÅ', 'aoaaoa')
