Introduction
This module contains an interface to the GNU Recode library,
version 3.5. The GNU Recode library converts files between various coded
character sets and surface encodings. When this cannot be
achieved exactly, it may get rid of the offending characters or
fall back on approximations. The library recognises or produces
nearly 150 different character sets and is able to convert files
between almost any pair.
Most RFC 1345 character sets
are supported.
Note: This extension is not
available on Windows platforms.
Requirements
You must have GNU Recode 3.5 or higher installed on your system.
You can download the package from here.
Installation
To be able to use the functions defined in this
module you must compile your PHP interpreter using the
--with-recode[=DIR]
option.
| Warning |
Crashes and startup problems of PHP may be encountered
when loading the recode as extension after loading any extension of mysql or imap. Loading the recode before those
extension has proven to fix the problem. This is due a technical problem
that both the c-client library used by imap and recode have their own
hash_lookup() function and both mysql and recode have
their own hash_insert function.
|
| Warning |
The IMAP extension cannot be used in conjuction with
the recode or YAZ extensions. This is due to the fact that they
both share the same internal symbol. |
