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 ?

How about this ??? This is the one I made for this purpose function stripAccents($string) { $returnString = strtr($string,

      'àáâãäçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöšùúûüýÀÁÂÃÄÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕ֊ÙÚÛÜÝ', 'aaaaaceeeeiiiinooooosuuuuyAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOSUUUUY');

$returnString = str_replace('æ','ae',str_replace('Æ','AE',$returnString)); $returnString = str_replace('ø','o',str_replace('Ø','O',$returnString)); $returnString = str_replace('å','a',str_replace('Å','å',$returnString)); $returnString = str_replace('ß','ss',$returnString); $returnString = str_replace(''','',str_replace("'",'',$returnString)); $returnString = str_replace('"','',str_replace('"','',$returnString)); return $returnString; } obviously there's room for improvement, but it's from a QAD script (not production) -- Rene Brehmer aka Metalbunny If your life was a dream, would you wake up from a nightmare, dripping of sweat, hoping it was over?
