PHP extended character encoding function-iconv This module contains the iconv Character Set conversion function interface. With this module, you can convert a string expressed by a local character set to another character set, for example, a Unicode character set. The supported character set is based on the iconv implementation on your system. Note that the iconv function may not work as expected on some systems. In this case, installing the libiconv library would be a good idea. It will eventually produce more consistent results.
Since PHP 5.0.0, it has been equipped with extensions with a variety of practical functions to help you write multilingual scripts.
This extension is activated by default, but it can be disabled by using the -- without-iconv option during compilation.
Option command -- with-iconv-dir is used to specify the iconv path in the system during PHP compilation; otherwise, the default path will be scanned.
