RE: [PHP] Converting accented characters or numeric equivalents to non-accented

Ernest E. Vogelsinger suggested: >$chars_in = array('Á',''á','É','é'); // you >get it >$chars_out = array('A','a','E','e'); // this too >preg_replace($chars_in, $chars_out, $string_to_parse); I initially got a 'no ending delimiter' error but after adding /'s to the $chars_in it was just what the doctor ordered. I'm actually a little surprised that there isn't a built-in function, say, strip_accent(). I'd assume a lot of people would need this at some time or another.
