Depends what character set the string is encoded in.

Do you want "João Graça" -- my brother's name :) --
transformed into "Joao Graca"?

hmmmm ...

strtr()
<?php
$in = 'João Graça';
$with = 'áàãéèêíìîóç'; ## . other characters,
$wout = 'aaaeeeiiioc'; ## . uppercase, etc.
$out = strtr($in, $with, $wout);
?>

but you'll have all sorts of problems with different charsets.
