note 71872 added to function.mb-convert-encoding

As an alternative to Johannes's suggestion for converting strings from other character sets to a 7bit representation while not just deleting latin diacritics, you might try this: <?php $text = iconv($from_enc, 'US-ASCII//TRANSLIT', $text); ?> The only disadvantage is that it does not convert "ä" to "ae", but it handles punctuation and other special characters better. -- David ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 63.251.211.5 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71872 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71872/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71872/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71872/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71872/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71872/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71872/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71872 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71872 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
