note 36924 added to function.recode-string

I came across a bug (and workaround) when using recode_string. When converting from utf-8 to iso-2022-jp, it would always return an empty string (although it would work fine for conversions from html to utf8). Converting with recode on the command line worked fine, which was odd. I noticed that if I specified "-v" on the command line, recode stated that it was using libiconv to do the conversion. Using "iconv" instead of recode got the right results. i.e. Works: $str = recode_string("html..utf-8", "日本語"); // Unicode for "Japanese" Doesn't work: $str = recode_string("utf-8..iso-2022-jp", $mystring); Works: $str = iconv("utf-8", "iso-2022-jp", $mystring); Don't ask me why. Hope this saves someone some frustrating hours debugging. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.recode-string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36924 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36924&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36924&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
