Hi,

It is not quite clear what you want to do. You can translate UTF-8 characters into html characters like this:
$str = htmlentities($str,ENT_NOQUOTES,'UTF-8'); 
Or you can translate them in a costumizesd way with strtr()
For instance:
$translation = array(
      "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã",
      "ÃÂ" => "Ã", 'ÃÂ' => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã",
       "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "Ãâ" => "Ã", "ÃË" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "&ccedil;",
       "Ãâ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "Ã", "ÃÂ" => "&eth;",
       "ÃÂ" => "&uacute", "ÃÂ" => "&aacute", "ÃÂ" => "&acirc"
);
$str = strtr($str, $translation);
Both methods are simpler and a lot faster than regexps.

Hello,

I am still very puzzled.
If you a couple of minutes of spare time, pls give a look at http://www.chiari.org/help/ and suggest a way out.

Thanks a lot.
