The two-argument version of strtr() should work fine since there are no collisions in utf-8 such that part of one character matches part of a different character. The question is whether the function is binary safe. The manual page doesn't say as far as I can tell. Google came up with the following: strtr() made binary safe in PHP3: <http://marc.info/?l=php-general&m=92740681805351&w=4> Two-argument version added in PHP4: <http://php.net/ChangeLog-4.php> /Nisse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
