Please also see PR 184596 [1] for details and an example. This is caused by the switch to base iconv. PHP's iconv function depends on the underlying iconv implementation to behave like GNU iconv and guarantees this behavior in its documentation [2]. Besides the fact that this is really bad for those affected by it, there is also no entry in UPDATING warning about it. @bapt: I Cc'ed you because I was wondering if there is any concept of "use converters/iconv instead of base iconv" in the ports tree - some kind of override, either on a per port basis (so it could be the default for php5-iconv) or configurable by users. Afaik all the iconv functions are part of libc in FreeBSD 10. [1] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/184596 [2] http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php -- Michael Gmelin
