Sorry if I wasn't clear. This is what I mean:
[1] Write a function to remove accents. Call it - for example -
strip_accents($text).
So if strip_accents('Aurélien') returns 'Aurelien'.
All the code necessary for this function is in the Sluggable behavior
by Mariano. You can just select the french accents, or all of them -
up to you. Ditto for latin1 or UTF-8 - maybe even autodetect?
[2] Have the following custom validation method:
function alphaNumericFrench($data) {
$data = strip_accents($data);
return preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/', $data);
}
[3] Setup your validation:
var $validate = array(
'nom' => array('rule' => 'alphaNumericFrench', 'message' => 'Et bien
c'est que t'as un drôle de nom')
);
(Of course for real surname validation you might want to allow
apostrophes too)
Basically, this will treat all accented chars as normal letters. Other
characters - punctuation, spaces, whatever - will not be allowed.
Does this make any more sense?
