If `type` is omitted or not 'all' iconv_get_encoding() returns the current settings of ob_iconv_handler() as string.

    <pre>
    <?php

    iconv_set_encoding("output_encoding", "ISO-8859-1");
    var_dump(iconv_get_encoding('all'));
    ?>
    </pre>

The printout of the above program will be:

    Array

    (

        [input_encoding] => ISO-8859-1

        [output_encoding] => ISO-8859-1

        [internal_encoding] => UTF-8
