Urlify
======

[](#urlify)

Urlify is a library for creating url-safe slugs from text. It will also down-convert (Romanize) foreign ascii characters into plain ascii.

Installation:
-------------

[](#installation)

Add this line to your composer.json "require" section:

### composer.json

[](#composerjson)

```
    "require": {
       ...
       "oodle/urlify": "*"
```

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

```
Urlify\Urlify::urlify($string, $separator = '-', $ampersand = null)
```

Examples:
---------

[](#examples)

use Urlify\\Urlify;

echo Urlify::urlify('blah blah blah'); // Should output "blah-blah-blah"

echo Urlify::urlify('This is a sentence.'); // Should output "This-is-a-sentence"

echo Urlify::urlify('kraüt'); // Should output "kraut"

echo Urlify::urlify('what ever', '.'); // Should output "what.ever"

echo Urlify::urlify('blah&blah'); // Should output "blah-blah"

echo Urlify::urlify('blah&blah', '-', 'and'); // Should output "blah-and-blah"

```

Notes:
------
Please note that the string should be in ascii or iso-8859-1 in order for Romanization to work

```
