Hi,

Is there a function that will convert any european special characters
into standard ASCII letters eg. polish "ogonki" into a,e,o or german umlauts into
ue,oe...?

something better than this...

//only PL chars
function Utf2Ascii($string)
{
$utf2ascii = array(
"\xC4\x84"=>"A",
"\xC4\x85"=>"a",
"\xC4\x86"=>"C",
"\xC4\x87"=>"c",
"\xC4\x98"=>"E",
"\xC4\x99"=>"e",
"\xC5\x81"=>"L",
"\xC5\x82"=>"l",
"\xC5\x83"=>"N",
"\xC5\x84"=>"n",
"\xC3\x93"=>"O",
"\xC3\xB3"=>"o",
"\xC5\x9A"=>"S",
"\xC5\x9B"=>"s",
"\xC5\xB9"=>"Z",
"\xC5\xBA"=>"z",
"\xC5\xBB"=>"Z",
"\xC5\xBC"=>"z",
);
return strtr($string, $utf2ascii);
}
