How to create a slug from title and subtitle in Laravel 5 - laravel

Question

I want to create a slug. it should be a concatenation of title and subtitle.The following is my code and it's not working, i don't know where i went wrong?
public function setTitleAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['main_title'] = ucfirst($value);
$this->attributes['sub_title'] = $value;
if (! $this->exists) {
$this->attributes['slug'] = str_slug($this->attributes['main_title'].$this->attributes['sub_title']);
}
}
I need slug as a combination of main_title+sub_title

public function to_slug ($string) {
$table = array(
'Š'=>'S', 'ı'=>'i', 'ğ'=>'g', 'ü'=>'u', 'ş'=>'s', 'ö'=>'o', 'ç'=>'c', 'Ğ'=>'G', 'Ü'=>'U', 'Ş'=>'S',
'İ'=>'I', 'Ö'=>'O', 'Ç'=>'C',
'š'=>'s', 'Đ'=>'Dj', 'đ'=>'dj', 'Ž'=>'Z', 'ž'=>'z', 'Č'=>'C', 'č'=>'c', 'Ć'=>'C', 'ć'=>'c',
'À'=>'A', 'Á'=>'A', 'Â'=>'A', 'Ã'=>'A', 'Ä'=>'A', 'Å'=>'A', 'Æ'=>'A', 'Ç'=>'C', 'È'=>'E', 'É'=>'E',
'Ê'=>'E', 'Ë'=>'E', 'Ì'=>'I', 'Í'=>'I', 'Î'=>'I', 'Ï'=>'I', 'Ñ'=>'N', 'Ò'=>'O', 'Ó'=>'O', 'Ô'=>'O',
'Õ'=>'O', 'Ö'=>'O', 'Ø'=>'O', 'Ù'=>'U', 'Ú'=>'U', 'Û'=>'U', 'Ü'=>'U', 'Ý'=>'Y', 'Þ'=>'B', 'ß'=>'Ss',
'à'=>'a', 'á'=>'a', 'â'=>'a', 'ã'=>'a', 'ä'=>'a', 'å'=>'a', 'æ'=>'a', 'ç'=>'c', 'è'=>'e', 'é'=>'e',
'ê'=>'e', 'ë'=>'e', 'ì'=>'i', 'í'=>'i', 'î'=>'i', 'ï'=>'i', 'ð'=>'o', 'ñ'=>'n', 'ò'=>'o', 'ó'=>'o',
'ô'=>'o', 'õ'=>'o', 'ö'=>'o', 'ø'=>'o', 'ù'=>'u', 'ú'=>'u', 'û'=>'u', 'ý'=>'y', 'ý'=>'y', 'þ'=>'b',
'ÿ'=>'y', 'Ŕ'=>'R', 'ŕ'=>'r',
);
return preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9-]+/', '-', strtr($string, $table) );
}
I'm using this code and its working for me.
It is also good for utf-8.

You can use a laravel package:
https://github.com/cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable
Or I use JavaScript when I sent the form:

Answer 3

I have replicated the exact condition like yours passing static data and its working perfectly in my machine.. try below solution.. do some dd and see whats the combination of the main_title and sub_title is resulting. Also check by removing that if condition once.
$this->attributes['main_title'] = ucfirst($value) . " ";
$this->attributes['sub_title'] = $value;
$slugToUse = $this->attributes['main_title'] . $this->attributes['sub_title'];
if (! $this->exists) {
$this->attributes['slug'] = str_slug($slugToUse);
}
}
