Slug

A little PHP project to simplify slug generation for URLs in web-projects.

Usage

Basic usage

require_once '/path/to/Slug.class.php';
$slug_string = (string) new Slug('Hello World!');
echo $slug_string;

Output: hallo-welt

Basic usage (with max-length)

echo new Slug('A PHP project to simplify slug generation.', array('max_length' => 20));

Output: a-php-project-to

You might notice that the slug is automatically shortened so that there are no cutted words. This only applies if the cutted word part is smaller than half the generated slug.

see test/SlugTest.php for more examples.

If you want to run the tests, install PHPUnit from http://www.phpunit.de/ and run

phpunit SlugTest
