Hey all,

Does anyone have a function that replaces accented characters
with the non-accent equals?

I can't figure out how to get them out of the Ubuntu keyboard
the way it is configured so I've just tried three different
functions off the Internet and none of them have worked.

Thanks,
Skip

Ubuntu should have gucharmap which should let you copy and paste
accented characters.

This one by Sven on 21-APR-2005:

<?php
function transcribe($string) {
$string = strtr($string,
"\xA1\xAA\xBA\xBF\xC0\xC1\xC2\xC3\xC5\xC7
\xC8\xC9\xCA\xCB\xCC\xCD\xCE\xCF\xD0\xD1
\xD2\xD3\xD4\xD5\xD8\xD9\xDA\xDB\xDD\xE0
\xE1\xE2\xE3\xE5\xE7\xE8\xE9\xEA\xEB\xEC
\xED\xEE\xEF\xF0\xF1\xF2\xF3\xF4\xF5\xF8
\xF9\xFA\xFB\xFD\xFF",
"!ao?AAAAAC
EEEEIIIIDN
OOOOOUUUYa
aaaaceeeei
iiidnooooo
uuuyy");
$string = strtr($string, array("\xC4"=>"Ae", "\xC6"=>"AE",
"\xD6"=>"Oe", "\xDC"=>"Ue", "\xDE"=>"TH", "\xDF"=>"ss", "\xE4"=>"ae",
"\xE6"=>"ae", "\xF6"=>"oe", "\xFC"=>"ue", "\xFE"=>"th"));
return($string);
}
?>

If you search via Google for 'php accented characters function'
you'll see some user notes with code samples. I grabbed the one above
from strtr() on php.net, and there are several others there and other
places --- like on the preg_replace() page, if memory serves.
