I haven't seen a php function to do it (not to say one doesn't exist).  However, I use sphinx for search and there's a unicode to latin post in their wiki that might help you: http://sphinxsearch.com/wiki/doku.php?id=charset_tables#slovak  With a related post here - http://darwinweb.net/articles/thinking-sphinx-case-folding-configuration

I'm not exactly sure if those translations are baked into sphinx now.  See http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-1.10.html#charsets  Perhaps switching to using sphinx search could make things easier for you? http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads.html
