I'm having a problem with converting UTF-8 text that contains a non-breaking space character (unicode 00a0) to iso-8859-1. I'm calling iconv from a PHP script with this line of code:
$text = iconv("UTF-8", "iso-8859-1//IGNORE", $text);
I thought that the //IGNORE flag would cause iconv to ignore characters that it can't handle, but instead I get this error:
Error 8: iconv() [<a href=''>function.iconv</a>]: Detected an illegal character in input string
Is this a bug in libiconv, or is there something I need to do to massage the string before converting it?
Thanks in advance,
Boris Burtin
