Another reason for this is that those encodings just don't exist on
your platform. The code works fine for me on Linux..

See test case- file is ansi, not even any complex characters?

In what charset is the input here..?

Description:
------------
Trying simple charset conversion with iconv:

iconv('iso-8859-1', 'utf-8', 'test');

receive this error:

Notice: iconv() [function.iconv]: Wrong charset, conversion from
ISO8859-1' to UTF-8' is not allowed in /var/htdocs/test.php on line 5

Problem: no troubleshooting information available, e.g. list or
supported charsets or similiar. 

How can this be diagnosed?

Reproduce code:
---------------
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$res = iconv('iso-8859-1', 'utf-8', 'test');

Expected result:
----------------
No error and/or supporting functions to aid diagnostics.

Actual result:
--------------
Error message:

Notice: iconv() [function.iconv]: Wrong charset, conversion from
ISO8859-1' to UTF-8' is not allowed in /var/htdocs/test.php on line 5
