Recently came across the issue where utf8 characters were getting outputted into links like so:
http://example.com/ãcenar [<< where the "a" is a special character], which a browser can turn to links like so: http://example.com/ã�cenar In researching, I have found that browsers do not handle special utf8 characters in urls very well. So I looked into PHP conversions of utf8 to ascii and found that even this seems an imperfect art. Has anyone found a near perfect utf8 to ascii conversion technique for PHP. I found this reference here: http://www.unexpectedit.com/php/php-clean-string-of-utf8-chars-convert-to-similar-ascii-char Is this the best at this time? Any thoughts? (Also see this nice character encoding overview if needed: http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-utf8.html) Warmest regards, Peter Sawczynec Technology Dir. blūstudio 941.893.0396 <mailto:p...@sun-code.com> p...@blu-studio.com <http://www.blu-studio.com> www.blu-studio.com
