Description:
------------
I confirmed that both PHP and the "iconv" command use glibc

In the POSIX ("C") locale, "iconv" successfully transliterates "e" with an accent ("\xc3\xa9") to "e" with no accent,

$ LC_ALL=C echo -e "\xc3\xa9" | iconv -f utf-8 -t ascii//TRANSLIT 
e
$ 

 - however in the same locale, PHP iconv() fails to transliterate "e" with an accent,

$ LC_ALL=C sapi/cli/php -r 'var_dump(iconv("utf-8", "ascii//TRANSLIT", "\xc3\xa9"));'
string(1) "?"
$

LC_ALL is only affecting "echo".

You must do:

LC_ALL=C iconv -f utf-8 -t ascii//TRANSLIT 

Closing as bogus as this is almost certainly the cause of the problem.
