PHP4.0.6, php_iconv bugs

Hello, I have noticed that php_iconv sometimes fails to convert the string due to invalid sequence of characters on input, and there is no way to find out where the bad sequence is. I think there should be an optional parameter added to iconv() function, a variable passed by reference. If used, iconv would in case of an error return partially converted string, and set this variable to character index at which the conversion failed. Also, php_iconv makes a wrong assumption that the longest sequence representing one char is as long as sizeof(ucs4_t). For example, unicode combined characters can easily be longer, the same applies to encodings like 'JAVA' (\uNNNN). -- Best regards, Piotr Pawlow mailto:pp@siedziba.pl
