[PHP] Inserting special characters into text fields

[Phil Schwarzmann]

I need users to be able to insert special characters (ö and ä) into a
text field.
 
Unfortunately, English-speaking people do not have these keys on their
keyboards.  Currently, they are cutting and pasting these characters
into the text boxes.
 
I believe ASP can insert characters into text fields by pressing a form
button….can PHP do something like this?
 
Thanks!!
