accented with $this->input->post

[eluser]cmarra[/eluser]
Hello everyone, I have a small problem with $this->input->post('title');

Basically I cut blah accented letters typed by the user ...

I try to explain better:

$Title = $this->input->post('title');

I would need to clean the string received from the form ...
I tried to replace accented letters with those with normal str_replace but seems to work ...

How do I replace for example a, and with it etc etc?

Thanks

from our friend google

Code:

function removeaccents($string)
{
  return strtr($string,
"ŠŒŽšœžŸ¥µÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝß
àáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ",
"SOZsozYYuAAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOOUUUUYsaaaaaaaceeeeiiiionoooooouuuuyy");
}

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtr.php has some more on this

ehm thank you but I already tried this function and still does not work ...
ie if the function I pass the word so removeaccents (will) WORKS!
but if I do so:

$ Title = $ this-> input-> post ('title');

removeaccents ("$ title") THAT DOES NOT WORK!

I think the problem is just $ this-> input-> post ('title'); ....

I put a link to the profiler manual! I suggest you read it before asking questions!

[eluser]cmarra[/eluser]
I understand you but what should I expect from the POST variables after using the class?

First line from the manual: The Profiler Class will display benchmark results, queries you have run, and $_POST data at the bottom of your pages. This information can be useful during development in order to help with debugging and optimization.
