iconv can usually do this for you:

iconv("utf-8", "ascii//TRANSLIT//IGNORE", $string);

Adjust source encoding to preference. The //TRANSLIT//IGNORE part tells iconv to transliterate (replace with "similar" characters) whatever it can and ignore (leave out or replace with "?", can't remember) what it can't.
