can anyone help me with the code below, I would like to strip out comas from the URL
http://www.balmanltd.co.uk/products/steering/ball-joints/ball-joint,-drag-link-end/am1148
$str = trim($str);/*remove any unwanted outer spacing*/
$urlkey = preg_replace("/[^0-9a-zA-Z]+/","-",strtolower($str));
$htmlkey = ($htmlext) ? $urlkey.".html" : "";
return array($urlkey,$htmlkey);
Jump to Postuse str_replace like this
$urlkey = str_replace( ",", "", $str );this code removes all commas from the variable
use str_replace like this
$urlkey = str_replace( ",", "", $str );
this code removes all commas from the variable
like so?
1.$str = trim($str);/remove any unwanted outer spacing/
2.$urlkey = preg_replace("/[^0-9a-zA-Z]+/","-",strtolower($str));
urlkey = str_replace( ",", "", $str );
3.$htmlkey = ($htmlext) ? $urlkey.".html" : "";
4.return array($urlkey,$htmlkey);
I've seen the 'slugify' regex before and I'm not convinved it's that great.
An approach may be...
$str = 'The new Bulgarian president (президент), Rosen Plevneliev says "Yes!"';
//Add replacements as you see fit.
//Replacements:
//1. Replace all whitespace (single or multiple) instances or an underscore by a single dash
//2. Delete all characters that are not alphanumeric nor dashes
//3. Replace multiple dashes by a single dash
//This could be developed further to include transliteration if you were going to use
// accented or non-Latin alphanumerics
function urlify($string)
{
$patterns = array('/\s+|_/', '/[^0-9a-zA-Z\-]+/', '/[\-]+/');
$replacements = array('-', '', '-');
$lower = mb_strtolower(trim($string),'UTF-8');
return preg_replace($patterns,$replacements,$lower);
}
echo urlify($str);
