I will investigate this issue further and try to find out why it is not working for me. Thank you for your quick responce ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-14 10:48:26] aharvey@php.net Are you sure your PHP script is saved as UTF-8? This works as expected for me when it is, but fails similarly to your example when the PHP script is in a single-byte encoding where € is an invalid UTF-8 string, such as ISO-8859-15. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-14 10:41:01] danny at studyportals dot eu Description: ------------ This bug was discovered in libiconv 1.11 The //TRANSLIT property seems to be discarded. While passing this property and encountering characters as € it handles as if you used the plain variant on it. See test case below, this is the example given in the PHP docs (http://php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php) Test script: --------------- <?php $text = "This is the Euro symbol '€'."; echo 'Original : ', $text, PHP_EOL; echo 'TRANSLIT : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", $text), PHP_EOL; echo 'IGNORE : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//IGNORE", $text), PHP_EOL; echo 'Plain : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $text), PHP_EOL; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Original : This is the Euro symbol '€'. TRANSLIT : This is the Euro symbol 'EUR'. IGNORE : This is the Euro symbol ''. Plain : Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in .\iconv- example.php on line 7 This is the Euro symbol ' (Example on http://php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php) Actual result: -------------- Original : This is the Euro symbol '€'. TRANSLIT : Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in D:\Web\Webroot\test.php on line 6 This is the Euro symbol ' IGNORE : This is the Euro symbol ''. Plain : Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in D:\Web\Webroot\test.php on line 8 This is the Euro symbol ' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52836&edit=1
