sanitizer->pageName generates invalid pagenames

[Martin Muzatko]

See gif:

When I use $sanitizer->pageName()  to sanitize a title as name, I get a different result from what processwire automatically replaces, when editing the name in the CMS.

I have to manually replace the dashes and even dots!

I would expect the name to be equal to the last segment of the pagepath.

There's nothing invalid about the original page name in your gif. Adding the $beautify argument to $sanitizer->pageName() will give a result that is closer to the JS replacement that happens in the admin interface.

But I take your point that it would be useful to have a sanitizer option that is an exact match for the JS replacement.

JS replacement

Maybe implementing it with an ajax API call instead of a JS replacement would do the trick.
