Note Submitter: isaac77 ---- Note regarding the code provided by 'heavyraptor' below, which converts accented characters: To get the code to work, I had to change the line <?php $str = htmlentities($str); ?> to something like <?php $str = htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?> My problem may have had something to do with the version of php or some default settings, as I found it necessary to specify UTF-8 on one server but not another. Thanks to the original posters for the code!
