By "funky characters" I assume you mean the letter 'e' with the cute
little French decoration on top. Try this:

$new_string=str_replace('é','e',$old_string);

To replace the decorated e's with plain vanilla e's.

(The first e is the decorated on, in case it doesn't show up in your
newsreader. For windows users that's entered by holding down the alt
ket and typing 0233 on the num pad.)

You might also need to do it for the upper case 'E' inc ase people
write "RESUMÉ" in caps.
