Removing Non-English Characters in PHP
Why would you want to do this, you say?
Well, I found out the other day a payment processor we use (Authorize.net) at the company I work at doesn’t allow for non-english characters and in return, throws a cryptic error.
Here’s the error:
E00003 - Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 15, position 54.
Here’s the trick:$str = preg_replace('/[^\00-\255]+/u', '', $str);
