Is there any possible way of doing this in PHP? Eg convert the word Québec
$str = 'Québec';
echo convert($str);
result:
Quebec
Those are called diacritics (or accents). The process of converting some text from one script to another (e.g. one with diacritics to one without) is called transliteration and PHP has a module for performing it.
You probably want something like:
transliterator_transliterate('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII', $your_input);

I want convert this string to uuid4 by PHP functions

how can do it?! php have function or?!...
You could do a combination of:
str_replace() to strip out the : colons
substr() the sections you need
and concat them with . "-" .
lastly apply strtolower() if that's really required
Or, you could write a regex/preg_replace transformation.

Unicode character in PHP string

I'm trying to convert some characters with PHP before inserting to MySQL DB a JSON object with this kind of data:
\u00c9
that means: É
I tried this but it didn't work:
echo utf8_encode(print_r('\u00c9'));
I've read that it's in Unicode but i can't find the way to print it before inserting it. Any ideas?
Take a look at this answer. TL;DR:
echo json_decode('"\u00c9"');

please help me
Try with
$result = preg_replace('/[^\x00-\x7F]+/', '', $dbstring); // remove all non-ASCII (so called special) characters from your string:
or
$result=utf8_encode($dbstring); // encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8

Special characters in property name of object
(2 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
in my code i have to show some element of an object ( a xml file), but the problem i am having is that the names of the elements contain special characters like "é", "à", "è" "ç" etc...
so when i try for example t show :
echo $xml->CoordonnéesNum->Téléphone;
it doesn't work, so i have to change it to something like this :
$xml->Coor->Tel //without the special characters
but i have thousands of xml files in wich these elements are named with these special characters and i cannot change them all manually
i have to mention that im new to php:
so please if you can help to fix this issue that would be wonderful.
Try this instead:
echo $xml->{"CoordonnéesNum"}->{"Téléphone"};
