effigy Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Will the incoming character set always be the same? (Do you know it?) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14403-replace-special-chars/#findComment-56905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

effigy Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 This is a bit of a challenge because you're trying to [i]visually[/i] (not [i]actually[/i]) convert a character set. To my knowledge there is nothing in PHP to do this because, honestly, you shouldn't. See my signature about Unicode and character sets; here's a quote from it: "There Ain't No Such Thing As Plain Text."Why don't you convert the string to UTF-8 and use it as is? Are you running Unix?For example:[tt]<html><head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body><?php $string = '#_Àéçomn_01.jpg'; echo utf8_encode($string);?></body></html>[/tt] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14403-replace-special-chars/#findComment-56940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I ran across [url=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php#69412]this[/url]; "some code to convert latin diacritics to their traditional 7bit representation."
