note 47596 added to ref.iconv

Changing the name of this function to libiconv() is an incredibly Bad Idea -- it makes code that works perfectly under one PHP installation fail completely when moved to a different host for (apparently) no reason. It took me a fair bit of time to figure out why code that worked locally was failing on my hosting provider's box due to iconv() being undefined, and yet phpinfo() was showing iconv installed in both places. That said, here's a workaround I'm using on my site: <?php function rax_iconv( $from, $to, $string ) { if( function_exists( 'iconv' )) return( iconv( $from, $to, $string )); if( function_exists( 'libiconv' )) return( libiconv( $from, $to, $string )); return( FALSE ); }; ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.iconv.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47596 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47596&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47596&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47596&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47596&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47596&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47596&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47596&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
