Transforms a string or part thereof using an ICU transliterator.

参数

In the procedural version, either a Transliterator or a string from which a Transliterator can be built.

The string to be transformed.

The start index(in UTF-16 code units)from which the string will start to be transformed, inclusive. Indexing starts at 0. The text before will be left as is.

The end index(in UTF-16 code units)until which the string will be transformed, exclusive. Indexing starts at 0. The text after will be left as is.

I pretty much like the idea of hdogan, but there's at least one group of characters he's missing: ligature characters.
They're at least used in Norwegian and I read something about French, too ... Some are just used for styling (f.e. fi)
Here's an example that supports all characters (should at least, according to the documentation):

In this example any character will firstly be converted to a latin character. If that's finished, replace all latin characters by their ASCII replacement.

Sorry, for posting it again, but I found a bug in my code:
If you have a character, like the cyrillic ь (a soft-sign - no sound), the "Any-Latin" would translate it to a prime-character, and the "Latin-ASCII" doesn't touch prime-characters. Therefore I added an option to remove all characters, that are higher than \u0100.
Here's my new code, including an example:
var_dump(transliterator_transliterate('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; [\u0100-\u7fff] remove',
  "A æ Übérmensch på høyeste nivå! И я люблю PHP! есть. fi"));
// string(50) "A ae Ubermensch pa hoyeste niva! I a lublu PHP! est. fi"
Another approach, I found quite helpful (if you by no way want to remove characters ...), try to use iconv() in addition. This surely will just return ASCII characters.
See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/3542748/517914
Also an example here:
var_dump(iconv("UTF-8", "ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE", transliterator_transliterate('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII',
  "A æ Übérmensch på høyeste nivå! И я люблю PHP! есть. fi"));
// string(50) "A ae Ubermensch pa hoyeste niva! I a lublu PHP! est'. fi"

You can create slugs easily with: 

OOP version : 

There are some possibly undesirable conversions with ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE or your users may require some custom stuff.
You might want to run a substitution up front for certain things, such as when you want 3 letter ISO codes to replace currency symbols. £ transliterates to "lb", for example, which is incorrect since it's a currency symbol, not a weight symbol (#). 
ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE does a great job within the realm of possibility :-)
When it doesn't do something you want it to, you can set up a CSV with one replacement per line and run a function like:
  function stripByMap($inputString, $mapFile)
  {
    $csv = file($mapFile);
    foreach($csv as $line)
    {
      $arrLine = explode(',', trim($line));
      $inputString = str_replace($arrLine[0],$arrLine[1],$inputString);
    }
    return $inputString;
  }
or you can write some regexes. Transliterating using ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE works so well that your map probably won't be very long...
