Generate persian slug in php

There is no any standard to use half-space in urls. so you can use dash instead of half-space or space in your slug. below code can useful for you:

function slugify($str, $options = array()) {

    // Make sure string is in UTF-8 and strip invalid UTF-8 characters
    $str = mb_convert_encoding((string)$str, 'UTF-8', mb_list_encodings());

    $defaults = array(
        'delimiter'     => '-',
        'limit'         => null,
        'lowercase'     => true,
        'replacements'  => array(),
        'transliterate' => false,
    );

    // Merge options
    $options = array_merge($defaults, $options);

    $char_map = array(
        // Latin

    // Truncate slug to max. characters
    $str = mb_substr($str, 0, ($options['limit'] ? $options['limit'] : mb_strlen($str, 'UTF-8')), 'UTF-8');

    // Remove delimiter from ends
    $str = trim($str, $options['delimiter']);

    return $options['lowercase'] ? mb_strtolower($str, 'UTF-8') : $str;
}

If you use this code, for example

echo slugify("نرم‌افزار");

you get نرم-افزار as result
