note 123589 added to function.mb-ereg-replace

Since PHP 5.4, to make uppercase ou lowercase characters, or rewrite some uris, without to take care about initial encoding, the transliteration is easier (and probably the best way): see http://php.net/manual/fr/transliterator.transliterate.php and http://userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/general For example (with create) (french text: replace all accuentued -éèàîïùç...- chars with ascii chars): <?php $transliterator = Transliterator::create("NFD; [:Nonspacing Mark:] Remove; NFC;"); echo $transliterator->transliterate("Héhé, ça marche !"); ?> // Result: « Hehe, ca marche ! » To rewrite a phrase in URI (with createFromRules): <?php $transliterator = Transliterator::createFromRules("::Latin-ASCII; ::Lower; [^[:L:][:N:]]+ > '-';"); echo trim($transliterator->transliterate("Héhé, ça marche !"), '-'); ?> // Result : « hehe-ca-marche » ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 185.85.3.142 (proxied: 86.218.141.6) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-ereg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123589 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123589/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123589/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123589/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123589/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123589/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123589/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123589 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123589 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
