Hi!

You have an error in your code at line 16:
Your variable name is wrong. You have to replace $filemane with $filename.

Your script work but the mb_convert_encoding is never apply ;)

Have a good day!

@keroth- : hey thanks!

Big update today using native remove_accents() function! Still need extra checks. Also update tutorial link.
