So following on the text below here is PHP functionality for doing GSM
Greek (All caps):
//Define the GSM ASCII values for greek:
define('EL_GAMMA', chr(hexdec('0x13')));
define('EL_DELTA', chr(hexdec('0x10')));
define('EL_THETA', chr(hexdec('0x19')));
define('EL_LAMDA', chr(hexdec('0x14')));
define('EL_XI', chr(hexdec('0x1A')));
define('EL_PI', chr(hexdec('0x16')));
define('EL_SIGMA', chr(hexdec('0x18')));
define('EL_PHI', chr(hexdec('0x12')));
define('EL_PSI', chr(hexdec('0x17')));
define('EL_OMEGA', chr(hexdec('0x15')));
//Mapping Table the $X strings can be replaced by the characters used
internally in your app.
$en2el_table = array(
'$G'=>EL_GAMMA,
'$D'=>EL_DELTA,
'$U'=>EL_THETA,
'$L'=>EL_LAMDA,
'$J'=>EL_XI,
'$P'=>EL_PI,
'$S'=>EL_SIGMA,
'$F'=>EL_PHI,
'$C'=>EL_PSI,
'$V'=>EL_OMEGA,
);
// you could use two arrays and just run str_replace once.
foreach ($en2el_table as $k=>$v) {
$str = str_replace($k, $v, $str);
}
