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. See the following post in [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://news.php.net/php.i18n/766 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-09 02:01:16] rq at akl dot lt Description: ------------ It's a duplicate of Bug #29852, which I cannot comment because it's marked as "Bogus", which it's not I'm using iconv() for some charset conversions, and, before converting anything to users' supplied charset, i use iconv() to check whether it would convert flawlessly. And I noticed, that iconv() never returns any error if at least the first character in the array given for conversion, is convertable. However, i think it's a bug somewhere in PHP, because the iconv(1) console command outputs an error in both similar cases: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ echo "rūta" > r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ iconv -futf-8 -tascii r riconv: illegal input sequence at position 1 ^^ note the "r" here. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ echo "ūta" > r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ iconv -futf-8 -tascii r iconv: illegal input sequence at position 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ echo "ruta" > r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ iconv -futf-8 -tascii r ruta Reproduce code: --------------- I wrote a small testcase script to demonstrate this issue. It's located at: http://jazz.lma.lt/~rq/iconv.php and source is at: http://jazz.lma.lt/~rq/iconv.phps. For example, check out these two links: http://jazz.lma.lt/~rq/iconv.php?text=r%C3%BBta&charset=ascii&submit= http://jazz.lma.lt/~rq/iconv.php?text=%C3%BBta&charset=ascii&submit= The only difference in them is an "r" letter in the beginning of the "text" variable. And in case it exists in "text", no errors are reported. Expected result: ---------------- In both cases, iconv() should have reported an error. Actual result: -------------- iconv() did not return an error in the first case, when there was an ASCII letter before any unconvertable strings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31030&edit=1
