Php 将重音字符转换为其普通ascii等效字符

我必须在php上将法语字符转换成英语。我使用了以下代码：

iconv("utf-8", "ascii//TRANSLIT", $string);

但是

的结果是
“E”E“E

我不需要那个双引号和其他额外的字符-我想显示一个输出，如
EEE
。有没有其他方法可以将法语转换为英语？你能帮我吗？
有一个警告：

请注意，某些系统上的iconv功能可能无法正常工作
在这种情况下，最好安装GNULibiconv
它很可能会得到更一致的结果

但是如果重音字符是唯一的问题，那么您可以使用脏strtr（部分来自）：

这对我的法语角色很有用

$str = utf8_encode($str);
$str = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $str);

以下是wordpress的方式：


您可以复制remove_accents（）函数并将其实现到系统中

另一种选择：

function replaceAccents($str) {

  $search = explode(",","ç,æ,œ,á,é,í,ó,ú,à,è,ì,ò,ù,ä,ë,ï,ö,ü,ÿ,â,ê,î,ô,û,å,ø,Ø,Å,Á,À,Â,Ä,È,É,Ê,Ë,Í,Î,Ï,Ì,Ò,Ó,Ô,Ö,Ú,Ù,Û,Ü,Ÿ,Ç,Æ,Œ");

  $replace = explode(",","c,ae,oe,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,y,a,e,i,o,u,a,o,O,A,A,A,A,A,E,E,E,E,I,I,I,I,O,O,O,O,U,U,U,U,Y,C,AE,OE");

  return str_replace($search, $replace, $str);
}


$str = "À é ü ä ç";
$str = replaceAccents($str);
echo "$str \n"; 
//output "A e u a c" 

在laravel中，您可以简单地使用str_slug（$AccentedPhase）

，如果您关心用空格代替破折号（-），您可以使用str_replace（'-'，''，str_slug（$AccentedPhase））

作为替代方法（本质上更复杂一点），wordpress使用此函数删除重音。在下面进行了一些更改，使其在不引用wordpress函数的情况下独立运行

     function mbstring_binary_safe_encoding($reset = false)
{
    static $encodings  = array();
    static $overloaded = null;

    if (is_null($overloaded)) {
        $overloaded = function_exists('mb_internal_encoding') && (ini_get('mbstring.func_overload') & 2);
    }

    if (false === $overloaded) {
        return;
    }

    if (!$reset) {
        $encoding = mb_internal_encoding();
        array_push($encodings, $encoding);
        mb_internal_encoding('ISO-8859-1');
    }

    if ($reset && $encodings) {
        $encoding = array_pop($encodings);
        mb_internal_encoding($encoding);
    }
}

function seems_utf8($str)
{
    mbstring_binary_safe_encoding();
    $length = strlen($str);
    mbstring_binary_safe_encoding(true);
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $c = ord($str[$i]);
        if ($c < 0x80) {
            $n = 0;
        }
        // 0bbbbbbb
        elseif (($c & 0xE0) == 0xC0) {
            $n = 1;
        }
        // 110bbbbb
        elseif (($c & 0xF0) == 0xE0) {
            $n = 2;
        }
        // 1110bbbb
        elseif (($c & 0xF8) == 0xF0) {
            $n = 3;
        }
        // 11110bbb
        elseif (($c & 0xFC) == 0xF8) {
            $n = 4;
        }
        // 111110bb
        elseif (($c & 0xFE) == 0xFC) {
            $n = 5;
        }
        // 1111110b
        else {
                return false;
            }
            // Does not match any model
            for ($j = 0; $j < $n; $j++) {
                // n bytes matching 10bbbbbb follow ?
                if ((++$i == $length) || ((ord($str[$i]) & 0xC0) != 0x80)) {
                    return false;
                }

            }
        }
        return true;
    }
