( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

thanks for the help guys, I think i've kind of hacked this one ;) here's what i've done.

This is actually PHP, I did it on the front end, rather than at the point of loading into the database.

$trans = array( "À" => "À", "à" => "à", "Á" => "Á", "á" => "á", "Ã" => "Ã", "Ì" => "Ì", "ì" => "ì", "Í" => "Í", "í" => "í", "Î" => "Î", "î" => "î", "Ò" => "Ò", "ò" => "ò", "Ó" => "Ó", "ó" => "ó", "Ô" => "Ô", "ô" => "ô", "é" => "é", "è" => "è", "È" => "È", "Ù" => "Ù", "ù" => "ù", "Ú" => "Ú", "ú" => "ú", "Û" => "Û", "û" => "û", "¢" => "", "©" => "" ); $name = strtr($row["name"], $trans2);

I'm off to the pub now to think about it a bit more ;)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
