RE: [PHP] Converting non latin characters

'ð' is an accented 'o' - just like these are: 'ò', 'ó', 'ô', 'õ', 'ö' I've never seen an 'o' accented that why before, so I have no idea how you're meant to pronounce it. But going from "Tokyo" then I guess it's pronounced "oe" as in "toe" I dunno what function (built-in or otherwise) you can use to convert it back to a "normal" letter. -----Original Message----- From: Andy [mailto:news.letters@gmx.de] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 3:31 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Converting non latin characters Hi there, I have a table containing cities of the world. Now I am running into problems because people are starting to complain that some mayor cities are not in the db like Tokyo. After checking my table I discovered that there lots of cities are written with some non latin characters. Tokyo is written like this: Tðkyð Should, and if how, I convert this characters into latin ones. And what happens if somebody from Japan with a different keyboard tries to find Tokyo? Anyway what type of character is this 'ð' anyway? It does not look Japanese to me :-) Thank you for any help on that, Andy ---------------------------------------------------- http://www.globosapiens.net Global Travellers Network! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
