Hi, is there any howto available for using german umlaute (äöüÄÖÜß) and mod_rewrite? I want to use this kind of character in some category name. Example: Schüßler will be rewrite'd to Schusler, which is for searchengines not the same. It is totally another word. A circumvention will be Schuessler. Is there any help available? Regards, Frank

You can choose what to replace accents with using the $accenttweak tweak: http://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/wsnmanu...

I have read the manual, but I have not understood it. $accenttweak['from'] = ''; // for url rewriting, accented characters to replace $accenttweak['to'] = ''; // for url rewriting, replacements for accented characters and the coding is like this if (isset($accenttweak)) $string = str_replace(str_split($accenttweak['from']), str_split($accenttweak['to']), $string); What I have to do, when I want to translate all together? ä to ae ü to ue ö to oe ß to ss Ä to Ae Ü to Ue Ö to Oe

It doesn't handle non-1-to-1 correspondence, so it can't do that.

whats about an extension/correction to tweak_vars like this ... $accenttweak_from=array('Ä','ä','Ö','ö','Ü','ü','ß'); $accenttweak_to=array('Ae','ae','Oe','oe','Ue','ue','ss'); ... $string = str_replace($accenttweak_from,$accenttweak_to,$string); ... If an array is used a non-1-to-1 correspondence is possible. I think for all languages with special characterset it could be very usefull. But I don't know if this works in both direction of mod_rewrite. Edited by frankbeckers on 01/22/08 - 09:54 PM
