snipplr's version of this removes dashes from the title (see URL in your browser for example! Thx to section31, this one leaves dashes and underscores intact.

Great. And now for the german SEOs...

function makeseoname($title) { $title = pregreplace('/ä/', 'ae', $title); $title = pregreplace('/ö/', 'oe', $title); $title = pregreplace('/ü/', 'ue', $title); $title = pregreplace('/ß/', 'ss', $title); return pregreplace('/[^a-z0-9-]/i', '', strtolower(str_replace(' ', '-', trim($title)))); }
