Does anyone know of a function or script that would help me convert special characters such as ê and á to normal characters (e and a)? Rather than str_replace'ing them all, is there a function I can just wrap around my variable to escape and convert all the misc characters?

I believe you would have to setup a str_replace have an array of special characters then another array of their counter parts (the indexes must match for what you want replaced).

 

I do not know of any function that will do it, but you may be able to find one via google that someone else had made.

Aha, thanks for your help. Just been pointed in the right direction from one of my friends. Anyone that's interested, this has worked for me:

 

<?php
function normaliza ($string){
    $a = 'ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞ
ßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûýýþÿŔŕ';
    $b = 'aaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnoooooouuuuy
bsaaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnoooooouuuyybyRr';
    $string = utf8_decode($string);    
    $string = strtr($string, utf8_decode($a), $b);
    $string = strtolower($string);
    return utf8_encode($string);
}
?>

Cheers premiso :)
