Easily done :-)

FWIW, a while back I came across an interesting variation on typing the 
alphabet for use in translate(): type the keyboard layout instead, thus:

translate($string, 'QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM', 
'qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm')

It's much easier to type (for a non-touch-typist like me, anyway) and 
that, to my mind, makes it less susceptible to the kind of slip you made 
in your code.

(Of course, the French will want "AZERTY..." instead.)

Cheers,

Nick.
