Brian的Ruby代码:

title.downcase.strip.gsub(/\ /, '-').gsub(/[^\w\-]/, '')

Downcase将字符串转换为小写，strip删除开头和结尾的空格，第一个gsub调用全局地用破折号替换空格，第二个调用删除所有不是字母或破折号的内容。

我不熟悉Ruby on Rails，但以下是(未经测试的)PHP代码。如果您觉得有用的话，可以很快地将其转换为Ruby on Rails。

$sURL = "This is a title to convert to URL-format. It has 1 number in it!";
// To lower-case
$sURL = strtolower($sURL);

// Replace all non-word characters with spaces
$sURL = preg_replace("/\W+/", " ", $sURL);

// Remove trailing spaces (so we won't end with a separator)
$sURL = trim($sURL);

// Replace spaces with separators (hyphens)
$sURL = str_replace(" ", "-", $sURL);

echo $sURL;
// outputs: this-is-a-title-to-convert-to-url-format-it-has-1-number-in-it

我希望这能有所帮助。

假设你的模型类有一个title属性，你可以简单地覆盖模型中的to_param方法，就像这样:

def to_param
  title.downcase.gsub(/ /, '-')
end

Railscast的这集有所有的细节。你也可以使用这个来确保标题只包含有效字符:

validates_format_of :title, :with => /^[a-z0-9-]+$/,
                    :message => 'can only contain letters, numbers and hyphens'

我喜欢这种不使用正则表达式的方式，所以我将其移植到PHP。我刚刚添加了一个名为is_between的函数来检查字符:

function is_between($val, $min, $max)
{
    $val = (int) $val; $min = (int) $min; $max = (int) $max;

    return ($val >= $min && $val <= $max);
}

    {
        return 'e';
    }

    }

    {

    }

    if (mb_strpos('ùúûüuu', $char) !== false)
    {
        return 'u';
    }

    {

    }

    }

    {
        return 'r';
    }

    if (mb_strpos('l', $char) !== false)
    {

    return '';

我们是这样做的。注意，可能有比你第一眼意识到的更多的边缘条件。

这是第二个版本，展开后的性能提高了5倍(是的，我对它进行了基准测试)。我认为我应该优化它，因为这个函数可以在每页被调用数百次。

/// <summary>

public static string URLFriendly(string title)
{
    if (title == null) return "";

    const int maxlen = 80;
    int len = title.Length;
    bool prevdash = false;
    var sb = new StringBuilder(len);
    char c;

    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
    {
        c = title[i];
        if ((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= '0' && c <= '9'))
        {
            sb.Append(c);

            // tricky way to convert to lowercase

            prevdash = false;
        }
        else if (c == ' ' || c == ',' || c == '.' || c == '/' || 
            c == '\\' || c == '-' || c == '_' || c == '=')
        {

            {

                prevdash = true;
            }
        }
        else if ((int)c >= 128)
        {
            int prevlen = sb.Length;

            if (prevlen != sb.Length) prevdash = false;

    }

    if (prevdash)
        return sb.ToString().Substring(0, sb.Length - 1);
    else
        return sb.ToString();
}

要查看被替换的代码的前一个版本(但在功能上与之相当，而且快了5倍)，请查看这篇文章的修订历史(单击日期链接)。

另外，RemapInternationalCharToAscii方法的源代码可以在这里找到。

我不太了解Ruby或Rails，但在Perl中，这是我要做的:

my $title = "How do you change a title to be part of the url like Stackoverflow?";

my $url = lc $title;   # Change to lower case and copy to URL.
$url =~ s/^\s+//g;     # Remove leading spaces.
$url =~ s/\s+$//g;     # Remove trailing spaces.
$url =~ s/\s+/\-/g;    # Change one or more spaces to single hyphen.
$url =~ s/[^\w\-]//g;  # Remove any non-word characters.

print "$title\n$url\n";

我刚做了一个快速测试，似乎有用。希望这在Ruby中比较容易翻译。
