Question

I am tring to convert an array to string, than wanna change some chracters with str_replace. Everything works fine except convertion. What is the proplem in my code?

function tr_cevir($text = "") {
    //converts turkish charters in to english chracters
    $TR = array('ç', 'Ç', 'ı', 'İ', 'ş', 'Ş', 'ğ', 'Ğ', 'ö', 'Ö', 'ü', 'Ü', 'I');
    $EN = array('c', 'c', 'i', 'i', 's', 's', 'g', 'g', 'o', 'o', 'u', 'u', 'i');
    $text = str_replace($TR, $EN, $text);
    $text = str_replace(" ", "", $text);
    return $text;
}

$my_array = array(çali, Şeli, Ğahmet);

$string = implode(", ", $my_array);

$string_converted = tr_cevir($string);

echo $string_converted; //output returns null

How can i get the output like:

cali,seli,gahmet

Answer 1

Try replacing your whole code with this:

$my_array = array('çali', 'Şeli', 'Ğahmet');

$string = implode(", ", $my_array);

$string_converted = iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT', $string);

echo $string_converted;

iconv()
