Concerning the German umlauts (and other language-specific chars as accented letters etc.): If you
use unicode (utf-8), you can match them easily with the unicode character property \pL (match any
unicode letter) and the "u" modifier, so e.g.
<?php preg_match("/[\w\pL]/u",$var); ?>
would really match all "words" in $var - whether they contain umlauts or not. Took me a
while to figure this out, so maybe this comment will safe the day for someone else :-)
