Transliterate characters

In perl I was able to do:

$var =~ y/ĘÓĄŚŁŻŹĆŃęóąśłżźćń/EOASLZXCNeoaslzxcn/;

How does this oneliner look like in php?

The strtr() function is the PHP equivalent. The syntax is more verbose but
clearer.

$trans_tbl = array(
'&#280' => 'E',
'Ó' => 'O',
'&#260' => 'A',
....
);
$s = strtr($s, $trans_tbl);
