Hi, I have this function that takes a title with any random characters in it and generates a friendly url from it:

PHP Code:


			
function generateFriendlyURL($title)

{            

            // Switch none standard letters 

            $title1 = strtr($title,"ŠŒŽšœžŸ¥µÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ","SOZsozYYuAAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOOUUUUYsaaaaaaaceeeeiiiionoooooouuuuyy"); 

            

            // Remove special chars

            $allowed = "/[^a-z0-9\\040\\.\\-\\_]/i";

            $title1 = preg_replace($allowed,"",$title1); 

            

            // Replace spaced with _

            $title1 = preg_replace('/\s/', '_', $title1); 

            

            // Save

            return $title1;

}

To test it I've then entered in this:

Code:

ŠŒŽšœžŸ¥µÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ

but the resulting friendly url is:

Code:

AAAAAAAAYAuAAAAAAAAAAASAAOAAZAAAAAAAAAAAsAAoAAYAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAuAAAAAAAA

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks,
Michael
