The real question is, what does mbstring do that iconv fails to do? And why do we need to restore the initial form in any sense? And if iconv were built-in, would mbstring still be needed, and if so, why and where? /Steph goes away to read the relevant mbstring documentation -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
