Hi everybody,
First of all, i'm Vianney, French developper (please be kind with my
english ;) ), working in a very cool startup in Paris. I spent most of my
days writing php and python. I have a master degree in IT and i'm
passionate about new technologies!
I am writing to you because i'd like to submit my own PECL extension name
*unidecode*.
My extension is clearly a port of python extension unidecode for PHP. It
contains only one function, which take a string in parameter, and tries to
replace every non-latin characters by its equivalent (not so far of
transliteration).
I was motivate to do my own extension because i'm working with php 5.3,
migrate to 5.4 or more is far beyond the scope right now, and i needed a
powerful way to clean strings which might contain japanese, chinese, or
other exotic characters. As you know, Transliteror in php is only available
for php >= 5.4.
So, you can review the source code here :

Thx,
Vianney.
