Have you loaded the relevant modules in php.ini ?

This appears to be a local configuration error. Please check your extension_dir setting in php.ini.

The testcase:

   <?php
     echo '

Running PHP version ' . phpversion() . '

' ;
     $out = iconv("UTF-8", "windows-1251//IGNORE", 'Hello');
     echo "

$out (iconv) from Mr. hello_mb_string.php's PHP code.\n

";
     $out = mb_convert_encoding('Hello', 'ISO-8859-1');
     echo "

$out (converted) from Mr. hello_mb_string.php's PHP code.\n

";
   ?>

outputs

  Running PHP version 5.6.40

  Hello (iconv) from Mr. hello_mb_string.php's PHP code.

  Hello (by mb_convert_encoding) from Mr. hello_mb_string.php's PHP code.

If it helps. mb_convert_encoding lives in mb_string.dll and iconv lives in iconv.dll.

Thank you. I had a problem with irrelevant modules and an error in php.ini
Outputs:
Running PHP version 5.6.12

Notice: iconv(): Wrong charset, conversion from `UTF-8' to `windows-1251//IGNORE' is not allowed in F:\php5.6\xxx.php on line 6

The internet tells us that your //IGNORE issue is a known php issue. See

  https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php

The User Contributed Notes section offers some workarounds.

Thanks! Tell me where to find modphp5.dll for versions Apache 2.4 and php 5.5 and 5.6?

And php 5.6.40?

I've been slack at updating my site, but PHP 5.6.40 is at https://smedley.id.au/tmp/php-5.6.40-os2-20201213.zip and a suitable modphp for apache 2.4 is at https://smedley.id.au/tmp/modphp5-5.6.40-apache24.zip

There is no modphp5.dll for php 5.5 and apache 2.4.

In general, we recommend that folks that want to keep up with what's going on with apache httpd and php and friends subscribe to the Apache2 mailing list using:

 <https://groups.google.com/group/apache2/subscribe>, <mailto:apache2+subscribe@googlegroups.com>

and the ecs-isp mailing list using:

 <ecs-isp-on@2rosenthals.com>

The lists are low traffic and are very good for general user support questions. They also tend to be where new builds and fixes get announced first.
