Convert national chars into their latin equivalents in PHP

Question

I need some strings that contain german chars converted to their latin equivalent. For example

\'Höhle\' => \'Hohle\'

Answer 1

If it were me, I'd do something like this...

$map = array(   'ö' => 'o',
                // etc, etc, etc );

foreach( $map as $orig => $new )
{
   $myString = str_replace( $orig, $new, $myString );
}
