How to remove accents in PHP ?


Here is a nice function that can help you to remove every accent in a text. It can be useful to build a url that works on a server running an old PHP version or to convert a text from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 format.

function replace_accents($string)
{
  return str_replace( array('à','á','â','ã','ä', 'ç', 'è','é','ê','ë', 'ì','í','î','ï', 'ñ', 'ò','ó','ô','õ','ö', 'ù','ú','û','ü', 'ý','ÿ', 'À','Á','Â','Ã','Ä', 'Ç', 'È','É','Ê','Ë', 'Ì','Í','Î','Ï', 'Ñ', 'Ò','Ó','Ô','Õ','Ö', 'Ù','Ú','Û','Ü', 'Ý'), array('a','a','a','a','a', 'c', 'e','e','e','e', 'i','i','i','i', 'n', 'o','o','o','o','o', 'u','u','u','u', 'y','y', 'A','A','A','A','A', 'C', 'E','E','E','E', 'I','I','I','I', 'N', 'O','O','O','O','O', 'U','U','U','U', 'Y'), $string);
}


By the way, as UTF-8 should be the most used format in the future, it is strongly recommanded to code all your pages in this format.

Let iconv handle it

<?php
// This covers all unicode characters
$text = iconv('UTF-8', 'US-ASCII//TRANSLIT', $text);
?>

<HEAD>
<?php
/* you need the setlocale if you use a function in the HEAD part of your HTML document; without it the transmission of strings as parameters is flawed from the BODY part to the HEAD part where the function is */

function clearUTF($chaine)
{return iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', chaine);}
?>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF8');
$text='un été à Paris';
echo clearUTF($text);
?>
</BODY>

Hi thibault,

Do you know how to use this function on a php script to remove accents on fields sent to the script from a form via GET ??

So that the script can use then that unaccented fields info..

Your function seems very close for what I need, but I'm not coder, so wouldn't know how to use it.

Thanks!

Dave.

Hi Dave,

Obviously your script should look like this:

function replace_accents($string)
{
  return str_replace( array('à','á','â','ã','ä', 'ç', 'è','é','ê','ë', 'ì','í','î','ï', 'ñ', 'ò','ó','ô','õ','ö', 'ù','ú','û','ü', 'ý','ÿ', 'À','Á','Â','Ã','Ä', 'Ç', 'È','É','Ê','Ë', 'Ì','Í','Î','Ï', 'Ñ', 'Ò','Ó','Ô','Õ','Ö', 'Ù','Ú','Û','Ü', 'Ý'), array('a','a','a','a','a', 'c', 'e','e','e','e', 'i','i','i','i', 'n', 'o','o','o','o','o', 'u','u','u','u', 'y','y', 'A','A','A','A','A', 'C', 'E','E','E','E', 'I','I','I','I', 'N', 'O','O','O','O','O', 'U','U','U','U', 'Y'), $string);
}

$_GET['whatever'] = replace_accents($_GET['whatever']);


Nothing more !?

Tip of the day :

You don't know how to find a file to download on Rapidshare or Megaupload ?

You should try this command on Google : site:www.rapidshare.com keywords

Thus you'll also find a particular page on Wikipedia or any link on P2P (emule, eDonkey) sites.
