Function that convert national characters into ASCII

[Wiktor <php6@xxxxx>]

Hi,

Is there a function that will convert any european special characters
into standard ASCII letters eg. polish "ogonki" into a,e,o or german umlauts into
ue,oe...?

something better than this...

//only PL chars
function Utf2Ascii($string)
{
        $utf2ascii = array(
        "\xC4\x84"=>"A",
        "\xC4\x85"=>"a",
        "\xC4\x86"=>"C",
        "\xC4\x87"=>"c",
        "\xC4\x98"=>"E",
        "\xC4\x99"=>"e",
        "\xC5\x81"=>"L",
        "\xC5\x82"=>"l",
        "\xC5\x83"=>"N",
        "\xC5\x84"=>"n",
        "\xC3\x93"=>"O",
        "\xC3\xB3"=>"o",
        "\xC5\x9A"=>"S",
        "\xC5\x9B"=>"s",
        "\xC5\xB9"=>"Z",
        "\xC5\xBA"=>"z",
        "\xC5\xBB"=>"Z",
        "\xC5\xBC"=>"z",
        );
        return strtr($string, $utf2ascii);
}
