There are many methods to remove accents, UTF8 to ASCII, latinization:
Method 1
Using iconv
function:
$text = 'Regardez les vidéos YouTube - notamment celles proposées en Haute Définition (HD) - en toute convivialité sur grand écran.'; echo $text = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//IGNORE', $text);
result:
Regardez les vidos YouTube - notamment celles proposes en Haute Dfinition (HD) - en toute convivialit sur grand cran.
$text = 'Regardez les vidéos YouTube - notamment celles proposées en Haute Définition (HD) - en toute convivialité sur grand écran.'; echo $text = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $text);
result:
Regardez les vid'eos YouTube - notamment celles propos'ees en Haute D'efinition (HD) - en toute convivialit'e sur grand 'ecran.
$text = 'Regardez les vidéos YouTube - notamment celles proposées en Haute Définition (HD) - en toute convivialité sur grand écran.'; echo $text = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII', $text);
result:
Regardez les vid
This’s bad method. Anywhere we can do some fix:
mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8'); mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8'); //UK setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_GB'); $text = 'Sledujte videa z YouTube - včetně těch, které navrhl v High Definition (HD) - v přátelské na velké obrazovce.'; $return = ''; for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($text); $i++) { $char = mb_substr($text, $i, 1); $char2 = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $char); if(mb_strlen($char) != strlen($char2) && in_array($char2{0}, array('\'','`','~','^','"'))) $return .= $char2{1}; else $return .= $char2; } echo $return;
result:
Sledujte videa z YouTube - vcetne tech, ktere navrhl v High Definition (HD) - v pratelske na velke obrazovce.
Other fix:
mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8'); mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8'); //UK setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_GB'); $text = '^Sledujte videa z YouTube - včetně\' těch, které navrhl v High Definition (\'HD\') - v přátelské na velké obrazovce.'; $text2 = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $text); if(mb_strlen($text)!=mb_strlen($text2)){ $j = 0; for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($text2); $i++) { $char1 = $text2[$i]; if(($char1=='\'' && mb_substr($text, $i-$j, 1) <> '\'') || ($char1=='^' && mb_substr($text, $i-$j, 1) <> '^') || ($char1=='~' && mb_substr($text, $i-$j, 1) <> '~') || ($char1=='`' && mb_substr($text, $i-$j, 1) <> '`') || ($char1=='"' && mb_substr($text, $i-$j, 1) <> '"')) { $text2[$i] = ''; $j++; } } } echo $text2;
result:
^Sledujte videa z YouTube - vcetne' tech, ktere navrhl v High Definition ('HD') - v pratelske na velke obrazovce.
Method 2
Using strtr
function:
function UTF8_ASCII($str) { return strtr( utf8_decode($str), utf8_decode('ŠŒŽšœžŸ¥µÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ'), 'SOZsozYYuAAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOOUUUUYsaaaaaaaceeeeiiiionoooooouuuuyy' ); } $text = 'Regardez les vidéos YouTube - notamment celles proposées en Haute Définition (HD) - en toute convivialité sur grand écran.'; echo $text = UTF8_ASCII($text);
result:
Regardez les videos YouTube - notamment celles proposees en Haute Definition (HD) - en toute convivialite sur grand ecran.
