Can someone show me how to get rid of international characters in
$string? Is there a function already made?
the acute/grave accents on the chars are called 'diacritics'
You cannot use accented characters in a name reference : <a
name="montr�al">.
I guess this below is a start. Is there a better way?

I doubt either of these funcs is perfect but it hopefully gives you a clue in
the right
redirection.
