Azerbaijani to ASCII Transliteration

Question

Is there anything in PHP that will convert the Latin form of Azerbaijani to ASCII, i.e. removing characters unique to the country.

e.g.

Məmmədhəsənov => Mammadhasanov 

Answer 1

There is just the one character that is not handled by the Transliterator class:

Solution:

$str = 'Məmmədhəsənov';
$str = preg_replace( '~ə$~', 'eh', $str );
$str = str_replace( array( 'Ə', 'ə' ), array( 'A', 'a' ), $str );
$t = Transliterator::create("Latin-ASCII; NFKD; [^\u0000-\u007A] Remove; NFC");
echo $t->transliterate($str);
