#45123 [NEW]: iconv installed by default

From: joel at pureravfe dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: *Compile Issues Bug description: iconv installed by default Description: ------------ The documentation mentioned to use --with-iconv, which has always been the case, until 5.2.6. Now iconv is available even when the configure option is omitted. Seems the documentation is incorrect as well. ./configure --help | grep iconv --without-iconv[=DIR] Exclude iconv support --with-iconv-dir=DIR XMLRPC-EPI: iconv dir for XMLRPC-EPI Reproduce code: --------------- compile php without the --with-iconv option. Expected result: ---------------- iconv should not be complied and listed a phpinfo() page. Actual result: -------------- iconv is complied and listed a phpinfo() page. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45123&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45123&r=mysqlcfg
