Hello,

please help me on the following issue.
please reply to chiari.hm@flashnet.it too.
(I asked for help on the php-db ml, but nobody replied)

I have hacked the following function:
function accents($text) {
global $export;
$search = array ( 'à', 'è', 'ì', 'ò' , 'ù');
$replace = array ( '\\`{a}', '\\`{e}', '\\`{i}', '\\`{o}', '\\`{u}');
$export = str_replace($search, $replace, $text);
return $export;
}

It works fine, as long as I feed it with a string:
accents('à') --> \`{a}

The issue is when I get 'à' from a mysql table.
I.e., for some record of a mysql table Table, let à the value of the
field Field, and say
$result = mysql_fetch_array($answer, MYSQL_BOTH),
where $answer= mysql_query(SELECT * FROM Table).


Now accents($result['Field']) returns à (instead of \`{a}).
Why? I have no idea.

Any hint is welcome.
Thanks a lot
mario
