Description:
------------
Hi everybody, 

we've discovered, that the PHP funktion iconv() does not work with the 
PHP-CLI in PHP 5.2.12. PHP is configured with the following Options:

./configure  --enable-magic-quotes --enable-libxml --enable-session --
with-pcre-regex --with-pear --enable-xml --enable-simplexml --enable-
static --enable-safe-mode --enable-sigchild --disable-debug --disable-
rpath --enable-cli --enable-bcmath --enable-exif --enable-gd-native-
ttf --enable-gd-jis-conv --enable-mbstring --enable-mbreg
ex --enable-posix --enable-sockets --with-curl --with-gd=/usr/local --
with-ttf --with-png-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir --with-t1lib --with-zlib 
--with-iconv --with-imap=/usr/lib64 --with-imap-ssl --with-mysql --
with-openssl --with-kerberos --with-xpm-dir --with-freetype-dir=/usr -
-with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --disable-cgi --dis
able-ipv6 --disable-pdo --without-sqlite --disable-spl --with-
mcrypt=/usr --enable-soap

ICONV-Support ist active:

server:# php -r 'phpinfo();'|grep -i iconv
...
iconv
iconv support => enabled
iconv implementation => glibc
iconv library version => 2.3.6
iconv.input_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.internal_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.output_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1

Kind regards,
Werner




Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$text = "abcde";
echo iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1', $text), PHP_EOL;
?>


Expected result:
----------------
With PHP 5.2.11: 
server:# /usr/local/bin/php /tmp/test.php
abcde
server:# 







Actual result:
--------------
With PHP 5.2.12: 

server:# /usr/local/bin/php /tmp/test.php
server:#

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

  http://windows.php.net/snapshots/

Works fine for me. Enable error reporting and displaying too..or does it actually crash for you..? Try this:

# php -n -d error_reporting=E_ALL -r 'echo iconv("utf-8", "iso-8859-1", "abcde"), PHP_EOL;'

Hi, 

thanks for the quick response. I did some more testing ... and it 
seems like the problem is not related to PHP. 

On one machine with PHP 5.2.12 installed:


server1:# php -n -d error_reporting=E_ALL -r 'echo iconv("utf-8", 
"iso-8859-1","abcde"), PHP_EOL;'
abcde
server1:#


server2:# php -n -d error_reporting=E_ALL -r 'echo iconv("utf-8", 
"iso-8859-1","abcde"), PHP_EOL;'
Notice: iconv(): Unknown error (29) in Command line code on line 1
server2:# 


The configure-Options for PHP are the same on both machines. Any 
Ideas? 

regards,
Werner

No idea since I do not know the specs of your servers. :)
Check the diff between their phpinfo() output on iconv section.

Hi, 

the hardware-specs are the same - same for the PHP configuration. I'll 
need more testing here ... 

Anyway, thanks again.

I'm quite sure they aren't totally identical. Most likely the one where it doesn't work is not installed properly or someone has messed something there. Anyway, since this sure isn't PHP bug -> bogus.

Hi, 

unfornately the are the same:

server2:# diff /usr/local/lib/php.ini /home/werner/php.ini
server2:# 

Also the phpinfo-Output for iconv on both systems is identical:

server1:
iconv
iconv support => enabled
iconv implementation => glibc
iconv library version => 2.3.6

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
iconv.input_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.internal_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.output_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1+


server2:
iconv
iconv support => enabled
iconv implementation => glibc
iconv library version => 2.3.6

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
iconv.input_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.internal_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.output_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1

Bye,
Werner

Hi again, 

I've switched back to PHP 5.2.11 on server2 (on which the iconv-call 
did not work with PHP-CLI 5.2.12) and it's working:

server2:# php -n -d error_reporting=E_ALL -r 'echo iconv("utf-8", 
"iso-8859-1","abcde"), PHP_EOL;'
abcde
server2:#

Compared to PHP-CLI 5.2.12:
server2:# php -n -d error_reporting=E_ALL -r 'echo iconv("utf-8", 
"iso-8859-1","abcde"), PHP_EOL;'
Notice: iconv(): Unknown error (29) in Command line code on line 1
server2:# 

So maybe this could be a PHP issue ? 

Thanks,
Werner








strace php -n -d error_reporting=E_ALL -r 'echo iconv("utf-8", "iso-
8859-1","abcde"), PHP_EOL;'

Hi, 

as requested: I've installed the latest Snapshot 
(http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz). Same result with this 
version: 

server2:/usr/src/php5.2-201001140930# php -n -d error_reporting=E_ALL -r 
'echo iconv("utf-8", "iso-8859-1","abcde"), PHP_EOL;'
Notice: iconv(): Unknown error (29) in Command line code on line 1
server2:/usr/src/php5.2-20100114093#

Hi, 

I've found a difference in the config.log file. Seems like as in PHP 
5.2.12 (during  configure) this line (which is present in the config.log 
of PHP 5.2.11) is missing:

configure:46684: checking if iconv is glibc's

regards,
Werner
