translating accented characters

[miraclemaker]

Does anyone have any code that will translate accented characters (for example 'Ö') into there nearest non-accented equivalent (Latin-1 character set)?

It's for an e-commerce solution I'm working on, the CC processing system rejects any details that contain non- Latin-1 characterset characters, and I can't change it to anything more suitable.

function removeaccents($string) {
return strtr($string, "ŠŒŽšœžŸ¥µÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ", "SOZsozYYuAAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOOUUUUYsaaaaaaaceeeeiiiionoooooouuuuyy"
}

should do the trick --BB

Heh, I came up with this:

function replaceSpecialChars($string)
	{
	return strtr($string, "¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬­®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþ","                               AAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOxOUUUUYPaaaaaaaaceeeeiiiionooooo ouuuuyb");
	}

But I like your version better
