PHP Function To make URL Friendly Strings

Author: Dev | Files under PHP

Here is another PHP function which convert strings used for SEO URL Friendly or Permalinks.

PHP:

function make_friendly($string){
$string = strtolower($string);
$string = ereg_replace("[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]", "", $string);
$string = ereg_replace(" +", " ", $string);
$string = str_replace(" ", "-", $string);
$string = $string;
return $string;
}

For example consider the following call to make_friendly:

PHP:

echo make_friendly("Did n't this work?");

The output will be:

did-nt-this-work
