Question

I need javascript to create the exact same url-safe filename as I have created in PHP.

This is my code in PHP:

<?php
$clean_name = strtr($string, 'ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ', 'SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiinoooooouuuuyy');
$clean_name = strtr($clean_name, array('Þ' => 'TH', 'þ' => 'th', 'Ð' => 'DH', 'ð' => 'dh', 'ß' => 'ss', 'Œ' => 'OE', 'œ' => 'oe', 'Æ' => 'AE', 'æ' => 'ae', 'µ' => 'u'));

$clean_name = preg_replace(array('/\s/', '/\.[\.]+/', '/[^\w_\.\-]/'), array('_', '.', ''), $clean_name);
$clean_name = strtolower($clean_name);

?>

How would I replicate that in Javascript?

Answer 1

You can put your PHP-value in a javascript value like this:

<script>

var JSvar = "<?= $phpVar ?>";

</script>
