Description:
------------
When an incorrect or unknown encoding is passed to mb_strto[upper|lower] two error messages are returned which both are warning about the same thing.
In some cases, one error message is returned as well as an upper/lowercased string, but this behaviour is not documented.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$sourcestring = 'Hello, World';

$inputs = array(12345, 12.3456789000E-10, true, false, "");
$iterator = 1;
foreach($inputs as $input) {
  echo "\n-- Iteration $iterator --\n";
  var_dump( mb_strtolower($sourcestring, $input) );
  var_dump( mb_strtoupper($sourcestring, $input) );
  $iterator++;
};

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Only one error message should be returned for iterations 1-3

Actual result:
--------------
-- Iteration 1 --

behaving as I expected now. Thanks for making the change!
