Transliterate characters

[Leszek Dubiel]

In perl I was able to do:

$var =~ y/ĘÓĄŚŁŻŹĆŃęóąśłż źćń/EOASLZXCNeoaslz xcn/;

How does this oneliner look like in php?

PHP >= 4.3.0
$var = html_entity_dec ode($var, ENT_NOQUOTES);


Example taken from:


<http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php>


Pre-4.3.0 solution on that page also.


HTH =)

The strtr() function is the PHP equivalent. The syntax is more verbose but
clearer.

$trans_tbl = array(
'&#280' => 'E',
'Ó' => 'O',
'&#260' => 'A',
....
);
$s = strtr($s, $trans_tbl);
