It’s all well and good going one way, but you need to be able to go back the other way also.

I've been experiencing problems with both the suggested solution by the author (some "strange" characters were not converted, which cutoff the result) and one in the comments by Weblap.ro (list of "strange" characters is not complete). So I decided to combine them and enriched the list of "strange" characters. I also added a rtrim and ltrim, so you won't have an "-" at the beginning or the end when there is a space. New function: setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF8'); function toAscii($str, $replace=array(), $delimiter="-") { if( !empty($replace) ) { $str = str_replace((array)$replace, ' ', $str); } $a = array('À','Á','Â','Ã','Ä','Å','Æ','Ç','È','É','Ê','Ë','Ì','Í','Î','Ï','Ð','Ñ','Ò','Ó','Ô','Õ','Ö','Ø','Ù','Ú','Û','Ü','Ý','ß','à','á','â','ã','ä','å','æ','ç','è','é','ê','ë','ì','í','î','ї','ñ','ò','ó','ô','õ','ö','ø','ù','ú','û','ü','ý','ÿ','Ā','ā','Ă','ă','Ą','ą','Ć','ć','Ĉ','ĉ','Ċ','ċ','Č','č','Ď','ď','Đ','đ','Ē','ē','Ĕ','ĕ','Ė','ė','Ę','ę','Ě','ě','ё','Ĝ','ĝ','Ğ','ğ','Ġ','ġ','Ģ','ģ','Ĥ','ĥ','Ħ','ħ','Ĩ','ĩ','Ī','ī','Ĭ','ĭ','Į','į','İ','ı','ї','Ĳ','ĳ','Ĵ','ĵ','Ķ','ķ','Ĺ','ĺ','Ļ','ļ','Ľ','ľ','Ŀ','ŀ','Ł','ł','Ń','ń','Ņ','ņ','Ň','ň','ŉ','Ō','ō','Ŏ','ŏ','Ő','ő','Œ','œ','Ŕ','ŕ','Ŗ','ŗ','Ř','ř','Ś','ś','Ŝ','ŝ','Ş','ş','Š','š','Ţ','ţ','Ť','ť','Ŧ','ŧ','Ũ','ũ','Ū','ū','Ŭ','ŭ','Ů','ů','Ű','ű','Ų','ų','Ŵ','ŵ','Ŷ','ŷ','Ÿ','Ź','ź','Ż','ż','Ž','ž','ſ','ƒ','Ơ','ơ','Ư','ư','Ǎ','ǎ','Ǐ','ǐ','Ǒ','ǒ','Ǔ','ǔ','Ǖ','ǖ','Ǘ','ǘ','Ǚ','ǚ','Ǜ','ǜ','ϋ','Ǻ','ǻ','Ǽ','ǽ','Ǿ','ǿ','΄','ό','Α','ϊ','ฺB','Η','Ḩ','ā','ţ','ḯ','ố','ạ','ẖ','ộ','Ḩ','ḩ','H̱'); $b = array('A','A','A','A','A','A','AE','C','E','E','E','E','I','I','I','I','D','N','O','O','O','O','O','O','U','U','U','U','Y','s','a','a','a','a','a','a','ae','c','e','e','e','e','i','i','i','i','n','o','o','o','o','o','o','u','u','u','u','y','y','A','a','A','a','A','a','C','c','C','c','C','c','C','c','D','d','D','d','E','e','E','e','E','e','E','e','E','e','e','G','g','G','g','G','g','G','g','H','h','H','h','I','i','I','i','I','i','I','i','I','i','i','IJ','ij','J','j','K','k','L','l','L','l','L','l','L','l','l','l','N','n','N','n','N','n','n','O','o','O','o','O','o','OE','oe','R','r','R','r','R','r','S','s','S','s','S','s','S','s','T','t','T','t','T','t','U','u','U','u','U','u','U','u','U','u','U','u','W','w','Y','y','Y','Z','z','Z','z','Z','z','s','f','O','o','U','u','A','a','I','i','O','o','U','u','U','u','U','u','U','u','U','u','u','A','a','AE','ae','O','o','','o','a','i','b','h','h','a','t','i','o','a','h','o','h','h','h'); $clean = str_replace($a, $b, $str); $clean = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $clean); $clean = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\/_|+ -]/", '', $clean); $clean = strtolower(trim(ltrim(rtrim($clean)), '-')); $clean = preg_replace("/[\/_|+ -]+/", $delimiter, $clean); return $clean; }

No me ha funcionado

function toAscii($str, $replace=array(), $delimiter=’-’) {
if( !empty($replace) ) {
$str = str_replace((array)$replace, ‘ ‘, $str);
}

$clean = iconv(’UTF-8′, ‘ASCII//TRANSLIT’, $str);
$clean = preg_replace(”/[^a-zA-Z0-9\/_|+ -]/”, ”, $clean);
$clean = strtolower(trim($clean, ‘-’));
$clean = preg_replace(”/[\/_|+ -]+/”, $delimiter, $clean);
