note 120163 added to transliterator.transliterate

There are some possibly undesirable conversions with ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE or your users may require some custom stuff. You might want to run a substitution up front for certain things, such as when you want 3 letter ISO codes to replace currency symbols. £ transliterates to "lb", for example, which is incorrect since it's a currency symbol, not a weight symbol (#). ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE does a great job within the realm of possibility :-) When it doesn't do something you want it to, you can set up a CSV with one replacement per line and run a function like: function stripByMap($inputString, $mapFile) { $csv = file($mapFile); foreach($csv as $line) { $arrLine = explode(',', trim($line)); $inputString = str_replace($arrLine[0],$arrLine[1],$inputString); } return $inputString; } or you can write some regexes. Transliterating using ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE works so well that your map probably won't be very long... ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 2603:3003:2b05:eb00:d074:15f2:c2b9:486a ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/transliterator.transliterate.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120163 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120163/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120163/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120163/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120163/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120163/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120163/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120163 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120163 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
