Notice: iconv() [function.iconv]: Wrong charset, conversion from
ISO-8859-1' to UTF-8//TRANSLIT' is not allowed in /var/www/test.php on
line 7

Same here with libapache2-mod-php5.2.6 on my debian etch based system.
I first thought it has to do with my chroot-setup and spent 2 days
searching what goes wrong and found nothing. It works fine with an old
php4-binary, iconv directly called in the shell works too.

samples from ANSI encoded file:
echo iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', "test"); // works
echo iconv('ASCII', 'UTF-8//TRANSLIT', "test"); // works

echo iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT', "test"); // works not
echo iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8//TRANSLIT', "test"); // works not

The same thing here. But the problem is far from Windows-specific.
Debian based system in my case.
No usefull info found for now.

Weird Windows-specific thing.  The test case works fine on 6 different
UNIX variants I just tried it on.

I have the same problem in php 5.2.5.
My code:
iconv('iso-8859-2', 'utf-8', 'test');

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