    What do you want?
    Do you want to remove the letters or even better, get them to display properly?

    I don't know if this helps..

    $search_array = array("ă", "î", "é", "ô");
    $replace_array = array("a", "i", "e", "o");
    $tradus = str_replace($search_array, $replace_array, $tradus);

    It's the same, it's just less lines.

    The point is - WHAT is not working?

    The str_replace-items posted in the original post should work just fine, if the characters are in the text. So... what isn't working?

    Yes, it does. Although I didn't have that first char, the ă when I copied the text to my Notepad++ (guess it's not in the charset I use).

    But, however, this code:
    
<?php
$tradus = "înteresting, éxperiment, ôverwhelming";

$tradus=str_replace('a','a',$tradus);
$tradus=str_replace('î','i',$tradus);
$tradus=str_replace('é','e',$tradus);
$tradus=str_replace('ô','o',$tradus);

echo $tradus;
?>
    PHP:
    gives this result:
    interesting, experiment, overwhelming

    so it is working just fine.
