No. The fact the script displays the notice "iconv(): Detected an
illegal character ..." in both cases is not related to the fact whether
the option is implemented: this is controlled by error_reporting(E_ALL).
The option IGNORE only controls whether iconv will stop at the character
or not.
Also, the length of the resulting string is different (greater) with
IGNORE, and while without it the string ends at exactly where the
illegal character is, with IGNORE it ends at a random point where no
such characters occur.
Also, I did not mention - this is not the only file I converted, many
others were converted correctly with the option, and their length only
decreased a little. But there were 2 files which were truncated, 1 of
them (the smaller) is used for the test case.
Can you run the test with the latest PHP releases? Actually this is why
I reported the bug. I tried it on other servers with PHP 4.3.3, 5.1.4,
5.1.6, 5.2.4 and 5.2.6 and yep! - I finally found one with 5.2.9 (built
Feb 27 2009) and it displayed the same results everywhere.
I repeat, the TRANSLIT option works fine, while it does the same and
even more.

It just means you're using glibc iconv implementation which does not
have the IGNORE parameter implemented.

Here goes the script. I'm not sure about the limit on external
resources - I have the file to convert, so it is downloaded.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$Body1=file_get_contents("http://www.oppcharts.com/iconv.html";);
echo(strlen($Body1)."\n");
$Body2=iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1', $Body1);
echo(strlen($Body2)."\n");
$Body2=iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1//IGNORE', $Body1);
echo(strlen($Body2)."\n");
?>

Description:
------------
iconv() without //IGNORE as known cuts the string at the first illegal
character, but with //IGNORE it should not. Still, I get a truncated
text, but not at the point where the character is. Sorry the actual PHP
version is 5.2.6, but I cannot upgrade it. Just to let you know. Can you
test that with the last version? Please download the file from
http://www.oppcharts.com/iconv.html
Reproduce code:
---------------
$Body1=... //read the file
echo(strlen($Body1)."\n");
$Body2=iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1', $Body1);
echo(strlen($Body2)."\n");
$Body2=iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1//IGNORE', $Body1);
echo(strlen($Body2)."\n");
Expected result:
----------------
15323
Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in
/home/doldon/html/tdnam/dev.php on line 18
3588
-----------------------------------
15323
15321 - I can get this if I use //TRANSLIT or when I run the test on my
home Windows PHP 4
Actual result:
--------------
15323
Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in
/home/doldon/html/tdnam/dev.php on line 18
3588
-----------------------------------
15323
Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in
/home/doldon/html/tdnam/dev.php on line 18
8157 - THIS IS THE PROBLEM
