I've tried the recode(), but I think I didn't uderstand it's functionality,
since nothing happens. can someone has an idea in how to convert for example
a string posted by a form in this format "s�o paulo" to this "sao paulo"??
Does anyone knows how Macintosh's browsers send this special caracteres to
PHP???
Thank's again
