Why is $underscoreToSpace removed ? about urlify HOT 4 OPEN

I think you're right, filter()'s parameters are getting pretty long and the order isn't necessarily sorted by what's needed most often. Not wanting to break compatibility, for now I've added a new slug() method with the following parameters:

public static function slug ($string, $maxLength = 200, $separator = '-', $language = 'en')

Hopefully that's easier to remember and use for more common cases :)

Ah, I must have missed that parameter changing to $separator in a PR, but it looks like you can accomplish the same thing with the separator. I just tested this code:

<?php
  
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

echo URLify::filter ('some_text here', 200, 'en', false, false, true, '-') . PHP_EOL;
echo URLify::filter ('some_text here', 200, 'en', false, false, true, ' ') . PHP_EOL;

And the output is:

some-text-here
some text here

I suppose what was lost was the ability to set it to false in order to preserve underscores (e.g., "some_text-here").

OK, thanks a lot for the quick response and explanation! That solution also works!

I wasn't sure if it had a reason but you optimized it a lot (which I was doing in the old version) so I was a little bit flabbergasted, sorry for that :)

Does it stay this way or are you going to change/optimize what I described ? Maybe the arg order could be optimized ?

@lux Can't say more... Understood, sure, Superb! Thanks!

(I don't know where the zero's come from, can't backspace them as I don't see them)
