Anyone know of any function to replace letters with accents with just the regular letter, for instance replace á with a, ç with c, ñ with n ?

found this on the strtr() manual page (http://php.net/strtr): <?php function removeaccents($string){ return strtr(

    strtr( $string,
      'ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ',
      'SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiinoooooouuuuyy' ),
       array(
         'Þ' => 'TH', 'þ' => 'th', 'Ð' => 'DH', 'ð' => 'dh',
         'ß' => 'ss', 'Œ' => 'OE', 'œ' => 'oe', 'Æ' => 'AE',
         'æ' => 'ae', 'µ' => 'u' )
    );

} ?> --rick
