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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
