You could also use a single call to preg_replace with multiple patterns/replacements.

PHP Code:


			
$subject = 'This is bullshit M$ Word. They make   me 100% crazy.';
$search  = array('/[^a-z0-9 ]+/i', '/ +/');
$replace = array('', '-');
echo preg_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
// Output: This-is-bullshit-M-Word-They-make-me-100-crazy
