In case somebody else needs to remove accents like in the data and then pass 
them to uppercase (like "ê" will become "E"), I use two functions in my phorm 
3.0.4: 

removeaccents and strtoupper (the latter being a generic php function). 

I had this at the beginning of the config file: 

function removeaccents($string){ 
return strtr( 
strtr($string, 
'?????ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ', 
'SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiinoooooouuuuyy'), 
array('Þ' => 'TH', 'þ' => 'th', 'Ð' => 'DH', 'ð' => 'dh', 'ß' => 'ss', 
'?' => 'OE', '?' => 'oe', 'Æ' => 'AE', 'æ' => 'ae', 'µ' => 'u')); 
}; 

Then I use both functions. Example : 

$name = removeaccents($name); 
$name = strtoupper($name); 

I'm sure there must be some more elegant way to do it, but it works ! 
I had to do this in order to comply with bulk mail in the French Post Office.
