Do you mean a slug?

Slug('SOME RANDOM $#@ TEXT _ + ?/ =\\'); // some-random-text

For that this should be enough:

function Slug($string, $slug = '-')
{
    return strtolower(trim(preg_replace('~[^0-9a-z]+~i', $slug, $string), $slug));
}

I guess what you're looking for is URL sanitizing. Here's a link to a filter for php: http://php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.sanitize.php
