Convert Text to slug URL, 
example: Brown & Cony's Secret Date! 
will become: brown-conys-secret-date
Will be nice url.

[php]
function slug_url($text) {
// replace non letter or digits by –
$text = preg_replace(‘~[^\\pL\d]+~u’, ‘-‘, $text);
// trim
$text = trim($text, ‘-‘);
// transliterate
$text = iconv(‘utf-8’, ‘us-ascii//TRANSLIT’, $text);
// lowercase
$text = strtolower($text);
// remove unwanted characters
$text = preg_replace(‘~[^-\w]+~’, ”, $text);
if (empty($text)) {
return ‘n-a’;
}
return $text;
}
