Great function!
However, on lines 19 and 20 it seems odd to check if a function doesn't exist, and if so, call it. That can't work, or am I missing something?
@ghost is right there is a typo there.
- mb_detect_encoding should be called with the strict argument otherwise false positive will incur.
- str_replace can be replaced with strtr
strtr($string, $transliteration)
(didn't benchmark that tho). - safer version would be using chr() instead of writing the characters.
From wordpress (they must have face quite some issue):
if (!preg_match('/[\x80-\xff]/', $string)) {
return $string;
}
$chars = [

@ludofleury I just noticed that your version didn't work for Greek characters
e.g Γεια σου κόσμε
is expected to come out as Geia soy kosme
That functionality would be helpful for a search engine implementation.
thanks !! great function
I found this function in this blog http://jike.in/?qa=456827/string-how-to-replace-special-characters-with-the-ones-theyre-based-on-in-php
It seems that do what it needs to do with accents
function Unaccent($string)
{
return preg_replace('~&([a-z]{1,2})(acute|cedil|circ|grave|lig|orn|ring|slash|th|tilde|uml);~i', '$1', htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));
}
thx
