Sadarbojoties ar citvalodīgajiem, nākas sūtīt viņiem datu failus kuros ir Latvijas adreses un kuros drīkst būt tikai latīņu burti un vēl nedrīkst būt specsimboli, tad nu izmantoju:
$LATV=array("ā","Ā","č","Č","ē","Ē","ģ","Ģ","ī","Ī","ķ","Ķ","ļ","Ļ","ņ","Ņ","š","Š","ū","Ū","ž","Ž",".",'"'," ","-","_","/"); //Latviešu garie un mīkste burti un neatļautie simboli
$LATIN=array("a","A","c","C","e","E","g","G","i","I","k","K","l","L","n","N","s","S","u","U","z","Z","",""," ",""," "," "); //Latviešu mīksto un garo burtu un neatļauto simbolu aizstāēji
$IELA_LATIN=str_replace($LATV,$LATIN,$IELA_LATV); //Latviešu garos un mīkstos burtus aizstāj ar latīņu burtiem
