I have compiled php 4.2.3 on redhat 8.0 with       
-----php configure CGI---     
./configure  --with-mysql=/usr --enable-sysvsem     
--enable-sysvshm --with-gd=yes --with-zlib --with-ttf     
--with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-gd-dir=/     
usr/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib/ --enable-gd-imgstrttf     
--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf/ --enable-trans-sid     
--with-png-dir=/usr/ --with     
-sablot --with-recode --with-curl --with-openssl     
---------     
The dso is the same one it just has --with-apxs added and the     
results are the same on cgi and dso     
     
All compiles fine php runs ok but when i try to use an recode     
function from php script  it doesnt do anyhing.    
   
so an test line containing only   
 'echo recode("../qp","sas=32");'   
 doesnt return anything. I have an old working system with   
4.0.6 and recode 3.5  which returns what it should [thats  
'sas=3D32']  
 
 
Recode it self works in the shell  
[tmp]#cat recode.txt 
sas=32 
recode ../qp recode.txt 
[tmp]# cat recode.txt 
sas=3D32 
 
 
i tried also making an error [i didn`t suply any parameters to 
the function] and it warns me  with "... 
 Wrong parameter count for recode() in ..."  
 
I tried with recode rpm from redhat, i tried mine [compiled it my 
self] no diffrence it just doesnt return anything.

Which recode library are you using now? There seems to be a problem with recode 3.6, since all string based functions always return blank string.

Right now i`m  using 3.6.  
 
3.5 does not compile and run on rh 8.0 [it seg faults even in 
the shell]. i did not how ever put a lot of effort into the 
compiling of 3.5.

FYI, on RH7.3 with PHP 4.2.3 and Recode 3.6 (recode-devel-3.6-6 RPM), many recode calls from PHP return blank, but strangely latin1..flat (and maybe others, I just happen to be using that one) returns the string with a trailing 'control-@'

After doing tests on the recode 3.6 library, it appears that only file_to_file API function works properly. Since that function is not even used by PHP, I am guessing we'll need to wait for the next recode library release before this problem can be addressed.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

This is an issue with the recode library and not PHP itself. For now use iconv, which works perfectly.
