`I have a problem with my restaurant website. When customers type in æ,ø,å as a comment to their order, then the printer cant print those characters because it doesnt support them.

So my question is, how can I make the system print "ae" instead of "æ", "o" instead of "ø" and "aa" instead of "å". I have uploadet a picture of the printer module coding.
Thanks!

    Int the future please do not post images of code, copy/paste the code as text.

    What you want is Transliteration:

    $input = 'how can I make the system print "ae" instead of "æ", "o" instead of "ø" and "aa" instead of "å"';

$t = Transliterator::create("Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII");

var_dump($t->transliterate($input));

    Output:

    string(96) "how can I make the system print "ae" instead of "ae", "o" instead of "o" and "aa" instead of "a""

    I know it doesn’t transliterate ‘å’ as desired, but I would side with ICU’s transliteration interpretation rather than trying to build a custom transliterator.

    You might also want to check what encodings that your printer accepts, as it may well print an ISO-8859-1 or cp1252 version of the data just fine. Then you just have to apply the correct conversion, eg:

    $newstring = mb_convert_encoding($input, "ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8");

    use str_replace in PHP

    $text = str_replace(array('æ', 'ø', 'å'), array('ae', 'o', 'aa'), $text);

    For more help, we need a few codelines before an d after.

    toPrintable is a function that converts all non-ASCII characters to a transliteration. Additional printable characters can be defined that are retained as well as individual replacements.

    function toPrintable(string $string, string $keep = '', array $replace = []): string
{
  $new = '';
  $string = strtr($string,$replace);
  foreach(mb_str_split($string) as $mbChar){
    if(strpos($keep,$mbChar) === false){
      $mbChar = iconv('UTF-8','ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE',$mbChar);
    }
    $new .= $mbChar;
  }
  return $new;
}

    Examples:

    $text = 'æ and ø and å and äö and 3€';
echo toPrintable($text);
//ae and o and a and "a"o and 3EUR

$text = 'æ and ø and å and äö and 3€';
$keep = 'äöü߀..ABC..123';  //all printable characters
echo toPrintable($text,$keep);
//ae and o and a and äö and 3€

$text = 'æ and ø and å and äö and 3€';
$keep = 'äöü߀..ABC..123';  //all printable characters
$replace = ['å' => 'aa'];  //all individual replacements
echo toPrintable($text,$keep,$replace);
//ae and o and aa and äö and 3€
