Hi everybody, First of all, i'm Vianney, French developper (please be kind with my english ;) ), working in a very cool startup in Paris. I spent most of my days writing php and python. I have a master degree in IT and i'm passionate about new technologies!
I am writing to you because i'd like to submit my own PECL extension name *unidecode*. My extension is clearly a port of python extension unidecode for PHP. It contains only one function, which take a string in parameter, and tries to replace every non-latin characters by its equivalent (not so far of transliteration). I was motivate to do my own extension because i'm working with php 5.3, migrate to 5.4 or more is far beyond the scope right now, and i needed a powerful way to clean strings which might contain japanese, chinese, or other exotic characters. As you know, Transliteror in php is only available for php >= 5.4. So, you can review the source code here : - https://github.com/vianneyb/pecl_unidecode Thx, Vianney. -- BRIOIS Vianney
