Examples

echo Safeurl::make('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog', array('maxlength' => 18));

// Output: the-quick-brown
// ** Notice output is only 15 characters event though we specified 18 because we don't want to truncate mid word **

echo Safeurl::make('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog', array('maxlength' => 18, 'whole_word' => false));

// Output: the-quick-brown-fo
// ** Notice output is now exactly 18 characters **
