I think my problem lies in usort. I have a big honker of an array which I usort.
$ausenquiry = "e";
and
$ausenquiry = "e";
give a separate result.
I want to conjoin them. Possible? The same would be true for "a" and "à".
usort distinguishes between é and e. Any way around this? I don't see any inspiration:
