# URLify for PHP A PHP port of [URLify.js](https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/js/urlify.js) from the Django project. Handles symbols from Latin languages, Greek, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Polish, and Latvian. Symbols it cannot transliterate it will simply omit. * Author: [jbroadway](http://github.com/jbroadway) * License: MIT ## Usage: To generate slugs for URLs: ```php <?php echo URLify::filter (' J\'étudie le français '); // "jetudie-le-francais" echo URLify::filter ('Lo siento, no hablo español.'); // "lo-siento-no-hablo-espanol" ?> ``` To simply transliterate characters: ```php <?php echo URLify::downcode ('J\'étudie le français'); // "J'etudie le francais" echo URLify::downcode ('Lo siento, no hablo español.'); // "Lo siento, no hablo espanol." /* Or use transliterate() alias: */ echo URLify::transliterate ('Lo siento, no hablo español.'); // "Lo siento, no hablo espanol." ?> ``` To extend the character list: ```php <?php URLify::add_chars (array ( '¿' => '?', '®' => '(r)', '¼' => '1/4', '¼' => '1/2', '¾' => '3/4', '¶' => 'P' )); echo URLify::downcode ('¿ ® ¼ ¼ ¾ ¶'); // "? (r) 1/2 1/2 3/4 P" ?> ``` To extend the list of words to remove: ```php <?php URLify::remove_words (array ('remove', 'these', 'too')); ?> ```
