I'm using this code as a clean URL generator in Symfony 2.6:
namespace AppBundle\Utility;
class Utility {
public static function getSlug($string, $separator = '-')
{
// Source: http://cubiq.org/the-perfect-php-clean-url-generator
$slug = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string);
$slug = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\/_|+ -]/", '', $slug);
$slug = strtolower(trim($slug, $separator));
$slug = preg_replace("/[\/_|+ -]+/", $separator, $slug);
return $slug;
}
}
It works fine in my dev environment, with special characters, but not in my prod environment (my server). It doesn't change characters like á é ñ %, they just disappear. Example "Artículo año 2000", it shows: "artculo-ao-2000".
I have installed PHP 5.5.23 in CentOS 5.11, I added UTF-8 as the default charset in http.conf for Apache and in php.ini, if I type "php app/check.php" everything is fine but it only suggests a PHP accelerator.
I tried uploading a file with a special character /holá.html, and it works fine.
I don't know what else to do. Is it because of the prod environment configuration?
