PHP urlize function
- by Maxime
Hello guys,
I'm using this function on my website to transform user input into acceptable URL:
function urlize($url) {
$search = array('/[^a-z0-9]/', '/--+/', '/^-+/', '/-+$/' );
$replace = array( '-', '-', '', '');
return preg_replace($search, $replace, utf2ascii($url));
}
function utf2ascii($string) {
$iso88591 = "\\xE0\\xE1\\xE2\\xE3\\xE4\\xE5\\xE6\\xE7";
$iso88591 .= "\\xE8\\xE9\\xEA\\xEB\\xEC\\xED\\xEE\\xEF";
$iso88591 .= "\\xF0\\xF1\\xF2\\xF3\\xF4\\xF5\\xF6\\xF7";
$iso88591 .= "\\xF8\\xF9\\xFA\\xFB\\xFC\\xFD\\xFE\\xFF";
$ascii = "aaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooooouuuuyyy";
return strtr(mb_strtolower(utf8_decode($string), 'ISO-8859-1'),$iso88591,$ascii);
}
I'm having a problem with it though, with numbers. For some reason when I try:
echo urlize("test 23342");
I get "test-eiioe". Why is that and how can I fix it?
Thank you very much!
