Convert String to url friendly string - Webman.io - Sep 11, 2012
How can I somehow convert "a 16134 !#¤ toko5 14&!G90 into like a-16134-toko5-14-G90 or something like that, so that it can be used as a part of the url.

Look it up on google preg functions in php :) Just use PHP's documentation you won't learn anything unless you go research it yourself :)

If you google well enough, someone else has ALWAYS made a function

use this function:
PHP Code
<?php
function to_url($text){
$text=trim($text);//remove space in first and end
$text= strtr($text,"ÀÁÂÃÄÅàáâãäåÒÓÔÕÖØòóôõöøÈÉÊËèéêëÇçÌÍÎÏìíîïÙÚÛÜùúûüÿÑñ","aaooeecciiuuynn"); //remove accents
$text = preg_replace('/([^.a-z0-9]+)/i', '-', $text); // remove special character: other than letters and numbers change it to -
$text = strtolower($text); //lowercase
return $text;
}

With the preg_replace() function.
PHP Code
<?php
$string = preg_replace ('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/', '-', $string); # replace non-alphanumeric groups with a hyphen.

put your string in one variable.
make another variable valid char like "abc...xyz.ABC..XYZ012..9".
Check if the char in ur string is contained in valid char.
if yes,put it as it is
else,"-"
