file_get_contents() , str_replace() and accents

[Guest]

ok so here is my situation:

 

i have a t-shirt shop at spreadshirt.com, but it is in french

 

i'm trying to translate the main page in english

 

so i use file_get_contents() to display the page, and then i use str_replace() to translate the words

 

i can translate all the words but when i try to replace a word with accents it doesn't work...

 

how to solve this problem ?

You might want to have a look at http://php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php

This guy seems to have a good little function for you. www.php.net is your best friend

 

function utf8dec ( $s_String )
    {
    $s_String = html_entity_decode(htmlentities($s_String." ", ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'));
    return substr($s_String, 0, strlen($s_String)-1);
    }
