Description:
------------
The iconv-function is not working correct on my Solaris 10 / 64-bit.
libiconv and php-5-2-8 (and others) were compiled with CFLAGS=-m64 and CXXFLAGS=-m64 to enable 64-bit binaries.


./configure     --prefix=$PX  \
                --with-config-file-path=$PX/etc \
                --with-apxs2=$PX/apache2/bin/apxs \
                --with-iconv-dir=$PX \
                --with-libxml-dir=$PX \
                --with-zlib=$PX \
                --with-zlib-dir=$PX \
                --enable-mbstring \
                --without-pear

php.ini changes:
extension=bitset.so




Reproduce code:
---------------
#!/home/si/suchopac/rt/bin/php -q
<?php
print_r ( iconv_get_encoding());
print_r(get_loaded_extensions ());
print_r(get_defined_constants(true));

printf(" %s \n",ICONV_IMPL);
printf(" %s \n",ICONV_VERSION);

echo iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', "test");
echo iconv('ASCII', 'UTF-8//TRANSLIT', "test");

echo iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT', "test");
echo iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8//TRANSLIT', "test");

echo iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1', "test"); // WORKING !
echo iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', "test"); // WORKING !


?>


Expected result:
----------------
A verison implementaion and version number and six times "test" 

Actual result:
--------------
Only get 2 "test" string and 4 "tests" fails.

I rebuilt the codes with -m32 (this is default and means 32-bit binaries) and it is the same problem.

Althoug the php was build with a local libiconv and explicit setting of the prefix-path and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and --with-iconv-dir, etc. the system want to load the iconv from  /usr/lib/iconv which do not exists... :-(

This could maybe useful:

user# /usr/lib/iconv/UTF-8%ISO8859-1*
/usr/lib/iconv/UTF-8%ISO8859-11.so


it is mentioned in the truss output of the test php program:

I missed this earlier, you're using wrong configure options.
Just change the --with-iconv-dir=$PX to --with-iconv=$PX and try again. 
Note: Do this with clean build dir.

Also, do not paste more test result outputs here, they're no value for 
us. Just telling which tests fail is more useful. 

 [2009-05-07 06:56 UTC] aboh24 at gmx dot de
Sure that I need to use --with-iconv-dir=$PX instead  --with-iconv=$PX? Sorry if I ask because the help message of the configure file display vice versa.


src/php5.2-200904280430 $ ./configure --help | grep iconv
  --without-iconv[=DIR]   Exclude iconv support
  --with-iconv-dir=DIR      XMLRPC-EPI: iconv dir for XMLRPC-EPI

However I will test your suggestion soon.

Is there any more infoamtion I can provide to support you?

BTW: What does reason: ICONV_IMPL != "libiconv" mean.
 [2009-05-07 16:08 UTC] jani@php.net
You should actually read the help not grep for iconv in it and you'd 
know what the difference is. Now, did you try it or not?
 [2009-05-11 06:57 UTC] aboh24 at gmx dot de
Changing --with-iconv-dir=$PX  to --with-iconv=$PX fixes the problem. Case can be closed. Thank your very much for your help. Greetings Andreas

As it was basically just user error -> bogus.
