Question

I have one question. I am using slug url function for my SEO friendly url but my function not posted turkish character.

function url_slug($str)
{   
    $str = mb_strtolower( trim( $str ), 'UTF-8' );
    $str = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/i',' ', $str);
    $str = trim($str);
    $str = preg_replace('/\s+/', '-', $str);
    return $str;
}

for example when i post this title: şekerli bir öğütücü çok ışıklı bir bahçe

Url shows me : ekerli-bir-t-c-ok-kl-bir-bah-e

What can i do here? Anyone can help me here ?

Use the u modifier in your regex to make it work with UTF-8. Change the following line:

$str = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/i',' ', $str);

to this:

$str = preg_replace('/[[:^alnum:]]/iu', ' ', $str);
