Hi,
I have been told that PHP6 has implemented transliteration in some form,
but no specifics were given.
Does anyone know anything about transliteration in PHP6. I have noticed
that PHP has an ICU extension. ICU has a very comprehensive
transliteration/transform module that is not documented.
Currently I am using iconv and a PLEC extension to transliterate, but
they area neither comprehensive or widely supported.
There is also another method you can use to do transliteration, which
invloves NFD normalisation, but this is a very poor option.
