Hello everyone,

My name is *Mostafa Nafi*, and I am a *Senior PHP/Symfony Developer and
Technical Lead* currently working on enterprise-grade applications for
financial institutions. I am writing to introduce myself and to present a
new PHP extension that I have developed, in accordance with the
requirements before requesting a PECL account.

*About the extension: "slugify"*

I have developed a lightweight and high-performance PHP extension named
*slugify*, implemented in C, which provides a native function to generate
clean, URL-friendly slugs efficiently.
Goals and motivation

The purpose of this extension is to offer:

   -

   A *faster alternative* to userland slugification libraries
   -

   A *dependency-free* solution suitable for high-traffic or
   performance-sensitive environments
   -

   Proper *Unicode normalization*, removal of diacritics, and conversion to
   URL-safe ASCII
   -

   A clean and minimalistic API that can easily be extended in future
   releases

The extension includes full PECL-compatible packaging (config.m4,
package.xml, tests, arginfo, etc.) and has been tested on the latest PHP
versions.

You can find the source code here:
=F0=9F=91=89 *https://github.com/nafi-moostafa/slugify
<https://github.com/nafi-moostafa/slugify>*

*Purpose of my request*

I would like to *publish and maintain this extension on PECL*, so that
developers can easily install it via:

*pecl install slugify*

I plan to maintain the extension long-term, ensure compatibility with
future PHP releases, and evolve the feature set based on community feedback=
.

*Request for approval*

Before submitting the PECL account request form, I would like to confirm
that the extension is appropriate for publication in the PECL ecosystem,
and I kindly ask for your approval.

If any changes or improvements are required (packaging, code style,
documentation, tests), I would be happy to make the necessary adjustments.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
*Mostafa Nafi*
Senior PHP/Symfony Developer & Technical Lead
