Strip php variable, replace white spaces with dashes

Question

How can I convert a PHP variable from \"My company & My Name\" to \"my-company-my-name\"?

I need to make it all lowercase, remove all special characters and repl

Answer 1

Yop, and if you want to handle any special characters you'll need to declare them in the pattern, otherwise they may get flushed out. You may do it that way:

strtolower(preg_replace('/-+/', '-', preg_replace('/[^\wáéíóú]/', '-', $string)));
