Re: usort e & é together

Pardon me for the strtolower line, i've just forgot there... it's 4:30AM here in Slovakia... :/ correct listing follows... <?php $authors = array('élen', 'Élen', 'Elison', 'ámadeus', 'albert', 'alfred', 'amadeus', 'elen'); function usort_callback($a, $b) {

    $a = str_replace(array('á', 'é'), array('a', 'e'), strtolower($a));
    $b = str_replace(array('á', 'é'), array('a', 'e'), strtolower($b));
    return (strcmp($a, $b));

} usort($authors, 'usort_callback'); var_dump($authors); ?> regards, m. John Taylor-Johnston wrote:

Back to the drawing board? I tried this too: $first = array('à', 'é', 'À', 'É'); $second = array('a', 'e', 'A', 'É'); Ideas? Thanks, John
