Sanitize consistent with names used by ProcessWire fields and/or PHP variables
- Allows upper and lowercase ASCII letters, digits and underscore.
- ProcessWire field names follow the same conventions as PHP variable names, though digits may lead.
- This method is the same as the varName() sanitizer except that it supports beautification and max length.
- Unlike other name formats, hyphen and period are excluded because they aren't allowed characters in PHP variables.
Example
$test = "Hello world";
echo $sanitizer->fieldName($test); // outputs: Hello_worldUsage
// basic usage
$string = $sanitizer->fieldName(string $value);
// usage with all arguments
$string = $sanitizer->fieldName(string $value, $beautify = false, int $maxLength = 128);Arguments
