How To Convert phrase into SEO friendly version

[Kevin]

Useful function for taking the title of an Article or keyword phrase and converting it into an SEO friendly version that can be used in a URL.

For example, the title "German Cars are amazing" would be transformed into "german-cars-are-amazing".

    function getSeoVersion($phrase) {
      return preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9_-]/i', '', strtolower(str_replace(' ', '-', trim($phrase))));
    }
     
    // example usage:
    echo getSeoVersion("German cars are amazing.");
