Redirect all GET and HEAD requests to new domain (only redirecting GET and HEAD because POST, PUT, DELETE etc to old domain is almost certainly automated spam - no genuine users should ever be posting to old domain if it's been completely redirected). Ser
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(GET|HEAD) [NC] # Only rewrite GET requests
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} olddomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} olddomain\.com [NC] # Otherwise block
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]

Generate a URL portion or alias from any text - uses alphanumeric characters and hyphens only.
<?php
function generate_url_from_text($strText) {
$strText = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9-]/', ' ', $strText);
$strText = preg_replace('/ +/', ' ', $strText);
$strText = trim($strText);
$strText = str_replace(' ', '-', $strText);
$strText = preg_replace('/-+/', '-', $strText);
$strText = strtolower($strText);
return $strText;

Code will trim a string to a maximum length, and will not break sentences (will grab as many sentences from text as it can up to the maximum string length).
<?php
function trim_text_in_sentences($intLength, $strText) {
$intLastPeriodPos = strpos(strrev(substr($strText, 0, $intLength)), '.');
if ($intLastPeriodPos === false) {
$strReturn = substr($strText, 0, $intLength);
