Question

I have my class

public function convert( $title )
    {
        $nameout = strtolower( $title );
        $nameout = str_replace(' ', '-', $nameout );
        $nameout = str_replace('.', '', $nameout);
        $nameout = str_replace('æ', 'ae', $nameout);
        $nameout = str_replace('ø', 'oe', $nameout);
        $nameout = str_replace('å', 'aa', $nameout);
        $nameout = str_replace('(', '', $nameout);
        $nameout = str_replace(')', '', $nameout);
        $nameout = preg_replace("[^a-z0-9-]", "", $nameout);    

        return $nameout;
    }
