Package: PHP Sanitize Filename String

When applications need to create files, it is convenient to only use ASCII characters in the file names to avoid portability problems when those files may be used by people that have computers or mobile devices that use different operating systems.

This package can not only replace non-ASCII characters by similar ASCII character versions in a string, but it can also rename a file that has non-ASCII characters to use only similar ASCII characters.
