    This one by Sven on 21-APR-2005:

<?php
function transcribe($string) {
    $string = strtr($string,
       "\xA1\xAA\xBA\xBF\xC0\xC1\xC2\xC3\xC5\xC7
        \xC8\xC9\xCA\xCB\xCC\xCD\xCE\xCF\xD0\xD1
        \xD2\xD3\xD4\xD5\xD8\xD9\xDA\xDB\xDD\xE0
        \xE1\xE2\xE3\xE5\xE7\xE8\xE9\xEA\xEB\xEC
        \xED\xEE\xEF\xF0\xF1\xF2\xF3\xF4\xF5\xF8
        \xF9\xFA\xFB\xFD\xFF",
        "!ao?AAAAAC
        EEEEIIIIDN
        OOOOOUUUYa
        aaaaceeeei
        iiidnooooo
        uuuyy");
    $string = strtr($string, array("\xC4"=>"Ae", "\xC6"=>"AE",
"\xD6"=>"Oe", "\xDC"=>"Ue", "\xDE"=>"TH", "\xDF"=>"ss", "\xE4"=>"ae",
"\xE6"=>"ae", "\xF6"=>"oe", "\xFC"=>"ue", "\xFE"=>"th"));
    return($string);
}
?>

    If you search via Google for 'php accented characters function'
you'll see some user notes with code samples.  I grabbed the one above
from strtr() on php.net, and there are several others there and other
places --- like on the preg_replace() page, if memory serves.
