hello, im fairly new to php and do not know to much about it. so im hoping their are a few people in here that know a fair bit of php.

[U]what i want to accomplish[/U]
i want a text box within a form. I want people to be able to type in text into this text box just like any other text box. i then want their to be a submit button and when pressed it changes the text the user entered into the text box into diffrent characters from character map ( i must choose what they are changed to eg a = α, houston = ноusтои.) These are not characters on your keyboard well some are but some are not can you help please ?

You can use UTF-8 or UTF-16 : learn here.

You can use str_replace() function too...

And do your form by yourself.. ?

hope this helps..
