Here's a simple script to transform filename with accented character in it into much more usable unaccented character for a restrictive filesystem. $string = htmlentities($stringToModify); /* Take the first letter of the entity (if you got filename with ([<>] in it the result will probably remain lookable*/ $string = preg_replace("/\&(.)[^;]*;/", "\\1", $string); /* Change the whitespace into _*/ $string = preg_replace("/[ ]/", "_", $string); /* Dance ! */ print $string; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41468 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41468&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41468&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
