Description:
------------
using iconv() within a php script segfaults when converting a UTF-8 string to ISO-8859-1

I downloaded and compiled gnu libiconv-1.14 into /opt/local

My php configure 

./configure  '--prefix=/opt/bstage/php5.3.8' \
        '--with-apxs2=/opt/bstage/apache2.2.21-php/bin/apxs' \
        '--enable-bcmath' \
        '--enable-mbstring' \
        '--with-zlib' \
        '--with-config-file-path=/opt/bstage/php5.3.8/lib' \
        '--with-xsl' \
        '--with-xmlrpc' \
        '--with-regex=system' \

        '--enable-xml' \
        '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/local' \
        '--enable-ipv6' \
        '--host=i386-sun-solaris2' \
        '--mandir=/opt/local/man' \
        '--with-gd' \
        '--with-mysql=/opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386' \
        '--with-mysqli=/opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386/bin/mysql_config' \
        '--with-curl=/opt/local' \
        '--enable-debug'

I've used truss and gdb and get a segfault.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/*
$text = utf8_encode("Dave Kelsey");
 */
$text = "Dave Kelsey";
echo 'Original : ', $text, PHP_EOL;
echo 'Plain    : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $text), PHP_EOL;
?>



Expected result:
----------------
Original : Dave Kelsey
Plain    : Dave Kelsey

Actual result:
--------------
./php -ef iconv.php
Original : Dave Kelsey
Plain    : Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

Note: the parsing of the string takes about 3-4 seconds?

Whether I use $text = utf8_encode("Dave Kelsey"); or not makes no difference

The first thing I am noticing in this report is that you mentioned downloading 
and installing gnu iconv into /opt/local however your backtrace shows no sign of 
this being used:

#1  0xfe5068ab in iconv () from /lib/libc.so.1
No symbol table info available.

This looks like it is because you didn't tell PHP to use it. Try using:

--with-iconv=/opt/local

And see if that makes a difference.

According to ldd libiconv is loaded /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2
The backtrace also shows it's loading.

I've followed what you suggested:

./configure  '--prefix=/opt/bstage/php5.3.8' \
        '--with-apxs2=/opt/bstage/apache2.2.21-php/bin/apxs' \
        --disable-all \
        '--with-iconv-dir=/opt/local' \
        '--with-iconv'

ldd shows it's loaded.

When I run the script it fails.

I've been debugging the script with gdb and it seems like it's the first time it calls iconv it fails though it also looks like gdb jumps all over the place.

Questions:

There is no iconv funtion in libc.so, I think that's the library that gets the process running and has nothing to do with the problem.  Is this correct?

When I look in libiconv.so.2 with elfdump I don't see a iconv function but I do see libicnov.  Does the function name get mangled?  

... looks like in ext/iconv/iconv.c there is a #define that changes iconv to libiconv

though it seems to crash on the first call, however looking at the values on other runs, it seemed like the value of in_left and out_left never changed.   I'd like to know what's going on.

I solved the issue.  The steps I followed:

create a config script called doit_php.vBulletin (build php for vBulletin)

./configure  '--prefix=/opt/bstage/php5.3.8' \
        '--with-apxs2=/opt/bstage/apache2.2.21-php/bin/apxs' \
        --disable-all \
        '--with-iconv-dir=/opt/local' \
        '--with-iconv'

rm config.cache && . doit_php.vBulletin && make clean && make

got this working.  verified with at simple test:

iconv.php :
  <?php
  $text = "Dave Kelsey";
  $string = "L<f6>ic & Ren<e9>";
  $output = iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", $string);
  echo 'Original : ', $text, PHP_EOL;
  echo 'Plain    : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $text), PHP_EOL;
  echo 'nother   : ', $string, PHP_EOL;
  echo 'nother2  : ', $output, PHP_EOL;
  ?>


./sapi/cli/php -ef iconv.php

Original : Dave Kelsey
Plain    : Dave Kelsey
nother   : Löic & René
nother2  : 


iconv2.php:

  <?php
  $text = "Dave Kelsey";
  $string = "Löic & René";
  $output = iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", $string);
  echo 'Original : ', $text, PHP_EOL;
  echo 'Plain    : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $text), PHP_EOL;
  echo 'nother   : ', $string, PHP_EOL;
  echo 'nother2  : ', $output, PHP_EOL;
  ?>

Once I got php running only with my compiled iconv in /opt/local I gradually added modules until I got everything working.
I found the any xml modules used the old iconv lib.  misc extensions were being compiled build with #include <iconv.h>
I renamed the /usr/include/iconv.h so that it would not be found and I set the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS in my configure helper script as follows:

CFLAGS='-I/opt/local/inclue'
LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib -L/opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386/lib -R/opt/local/lib -R/opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386/lib'
LIBS='-liconv'
export CFLAGS LDFLAGS LIBS

my full configure helper script is now:

CFLAGS='-I/opt/local/inclue'
LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib -L/opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386/lib -R/opt/local/lib -R/opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386/lib'
LIBS='-liconv'
export CFLAGS LDFLAGS LIBS
./configure  '--prefix=/opt/bstage/php5.3.8' \
        '--with-apxs2=/opt/bstage/apache2.2.21-php/bin/apxs' \
        --disable-all \
        '--with-iconv-dir=/opt/local' \
        '--with-iconv' \
        '--enable-bcmath' \
        '--enable-mbstring' \
        '--with-zlib' \
        '--with-config-file-path=/opt/bstage/php5.3.8/lib' \
        '--enable-dom' \
        '--with-xsl' \
        '--enable-libxml' \
        '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/local' \
        '--with-regex=system' \
        '--without-sqlite' \
        '--mandir=/opt/local/man' \
        '--with-mysql=/opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386' \
        '--with-mysqli=/opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386/bin/mysql_config' \
        '--with-curl=/opt/local' \
        '--with-xmlrpc' \
        '--enable-json' \
        '--enable-hash' \
        '--enable-session' \
        '--enable-xml'


I didn't find any helpful documentation stating that if using a different iconv lib, that's not in the standard location, set CFLAGS, LIBS and LDFLAGS appropriately. 

I also found that with mysql and mysqli, the linker was always looking in /usr/sfw/lib though I specified on the configure /opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386.  Every time I remade the Makefile I had to edit it moving the -L and -R reference to /usr/sfw/lib to after /opt/mysql-5.5.8-solaris10-i386 so that the correct mysqlclient lib was linked to.
