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

You can use strtr but you should have array of equivalent chars,

function transliterate($st) {
   $st = strtr($st,
        "german",
        "english"
   );
   return $st;
}
