From reading some of the other bug reports on this, apparently new versions of iconv no longer support the //ignore option, and instead -c must be passed. So PHP needs to detect the //ignore option and in that case pass the "-c" option to iconv. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-25 08:15:33] laruence@php.net @rasmus yes, 5.3 and 5.4 behavior inconsistently, that is because icovn doesn't accept //IGNORE anymore, and now return -1, then comes a bug(see #52211), felipe fixed this in 5.4, but didn't fix 5.3. so now, 5.3 and 5.4 behave differently, but the fundamental reason seems still is the glibc change their iconv behavior. thanks, :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
