Nice article. I shamelessly used your neat little function in my seo url article – http://www.web-design-talk.co.uk/116/seo-friendly-urls-with-mod-rewrite/ :)

Thanks

$string = preg_replace(“`\[.*\]`U”,”",$string);
$string = preg_replace(array(“`Ç`i”,”`ç`i”,”`Ö`i”,”`ö`i”,”`Ä`i”,”`ä`i”,”`Ü`i”,”`ü`i”,”`Ç`i”,”`ç`i”,”`İ`i”,”`ı`i”,”`Ş`i”,”`ş`i”,”`Ğ`i”,”`ğ`i”),array(“c”,”c”,”o”,”o”,”a”,”a”,”u”,”u”,”c”,”c”,”i”,”i”,”s”,”s”,”g”,”g”),$string);
$string = preg_replace(‘`&(amp;)?#?[a-z0-9]+;`i’,'_’,$string);
$string = htmlentities($string, ENT_COMPAT, ‘utf-8′);
$string = preg_replace( “`&([a-z])(acute|uml|circ|grave|ring|cedil|slash|tilde|caron|lig|quot|rsquo);`i”,”\\1″, $string );
$string = preg_replace( array(“`[^a-z0-9]`i”,”`[-]+`”) , “_”, $string);
return strtolower(trim($string, ‘_’));

- Perhaps convert “barca-rejects-fifa-statement-on-olympics-row.html” back to Barca rejects FIFA statement on Olympics row” and search for this title in my database ?!?

Very useful as I use .htaccess to modify urls, although I needed a a specific PHP script to rewrite the title of urls added by my CMS.

This does the job perfectly.

Thanks again!!
