recode extension may be broken currently. I saw sevral post
complaining about it...
I'm not sure how latin encodings (ISO-8859-*) are handled in
mbstring module. You might want to try mbstring encoding
conversion functions. You might also want to try iconv module,
see if it helps. (Note: iconv is broken in 4.0.6)

Most browsers are capable of sending data with verious
character encoding (i.e. It's not Mac specific) Check
your http header and meta tag in html doc at first.
Browser may send data with other encoding other than you
specified in HTTP header/META tag. It's server side
script programmers task to make sure convert string,
alert users, etc. If you want to allow only ISO-8859-1,
alerting user would be esiest.
