I haven't tried the mb_ereg solution yet, but I thought of doing something with mb_convert_kana() Here's a little example script. I try it, but nothing gets converted at all! (I have mb functions Enabled and am using PHP 4.3.0 on a Window XP system). Why doesn’t this work?
Simon <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="Text/Html; Charset=UTF-8"> <title>hira2kata</title> </head> <body> <?php $str="ã‚ãŸã—ã‚"; // watashi echo $str."<br>"; $str = mb_convert_kana($str, "c"); echo $str."<br>"; $str = mb_convert_kana($str, "C"); echo $str; ?> </body> </html> You can accomplish it by converting any hiragana / katakana mixture to either hiragana or katakana characters with mb_convert_kana() and then comparing it with the original. Also try mb_ereg_* functions that allows localised characters to be used in character classes.
