Thanks, that worked perfect using the en_US.utf8 locale.<br>
<br>
I wonder if Drupal's changing of the LC_CTYPE should be documented
better since this breaks charset conversions and causes these two
functions (iconv() and mb_set_encoding()) to not function as they
should.<br>
<br>
I also wonder if we should create a drupal_change_encoding() function
that resets the locale, does the conversion, and sets the locale back
to make life easier for those who don't know about the LC_CTYPE change.<br>

I tried doing the following and it worked for me (very important to
note setting back the original value to setlocale().<br>
<br>
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'fr_FR.utf8');<br>
$string = "Stéphanie,D Hérouville";<br>
$output = iconv("UTF-8", 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string);<br>
print $output;<br>
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'C');<br>
<br>
I'm not sure which locale string you'd use in the first call to
setlocale (I used French in this case) but you can get all the values
on your system by running
locale -a from the command line.<br>
