$sanitizer->pageName() method

Sanitize as a ProcessWire page name

  • Page names by default support lowercase ASCII letters, digits, underscore, hyphen and period.

  • Because page names are often generated from a UTF-8 title, UTF-8 to ASCII conversion will take place when $beautify is enabled.

  • You may optionally omit the $beautify and/or $maxLength arguments and substitute the $options array instead.

  • When substituted, the beautify and maxLength options can be specified in $options as well.

  • If $config->pageNameCharset is "UTF8" then non-ASCII page names will be converted to punycode ("xn-") ASCII page names, rather than converted, regardless of $beautify setting.

Example

$test = "Hello world!";
echo $sanitizer->pageName($test, true); // outputs: hello-world

Usage

// basic usage
$string = $sanitizer->pageName(string $value);

// usage with all arguments
$string = $sanitizer->pageName(string $value, $beautify = false, $maxLength = 128, array $options = []);
