Does anyone know if php has a function to strip accents or simbols or anything useful?

If not, please tell me any suggestion to make one?

For example:

Text with accent
ábê@#&/\xxed

Cleaned text
abexxed

Thanks

    First step, convert accents :

    $s=strtr($s,"áâàéêèîûôÔ","aaaeeeiuoO");

    (the list is not complete, I know no better way to do this)

    Second step, remove non-letters :

    $s=eregi_replace("[a-z]","",$s);

      It would be useful for programmers outside US a native function like that in php.

      Anyway, thanks for your help. I will try it.
