Re: Re: Problem with non us caracters and "strtr"

I've tried the recode(), but I think I didn't uderstand it's functionality, since nothing happens. can someone has an idea in how to convert for example a string posted by a form in this format "são paulo" to this "sao paulo"?? Does anyone knows how Macintosh's browsers send this special caracteres to PHP???
