PHP: Generate Slug
slug is used to represent URL’s in a friendly way. for example if we have URL
http://www.technoreaders.com/?p=1484
can be converted into
http://www.technoreaders.com/2009/11/04/php-generate-slug/
but for this you need to convert title of your page to to friendly URL. So you can use below function to generate slug of the title of your page.
function generate_slug($url)
{
$slug = strtolower($url);
$slug = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9\s-]/", "", $slug);
$slug = trim(preg_replace("/\s+/", " ", $slug));
$slug = trim(substr($slug, 0, 45));
$slug = preg_replace("/\s/", "-", $slug);
return $slug;
}
