note 95296 added to function.iconv

Be careful with //TRANSLIT//IGNORE option. While it may have worked for some people, it failed miserably in my situation. The iconv() stopped at the first illegar char, cutting off the string right there, which is the default behaviour of iconv(), so it did not respect the //IGNORE switch after the //TRANSLIT When I used only the //IGNORE switch, it did work properly, just the illegal characters were dropped. It may be the case when the result depends on the version of iconv or maybe even version of php Just don't assume that //TRANSLIT//IGNORE will work together all the time because it does not. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 75.97.204.207 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95296 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95296/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95296/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95296/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95296/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95296/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95296/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95296 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95296 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
