(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5, PHP 5)

iconv -- Convert string to requested character encoding

## Descrição

string iconv ( string in_charset, string out_charset, string str )

Performs a character set conversion on the string `str` from `in_charset` to `out_charset`.

## Parâmetros

`in_charset`

  The input charset.

`out_charset`

  The output charset.

  If you append the string `//TRANSLIT` to `out_charset` transliteration is activated. This means that when a character can't be represented in the target charset, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters. If you append the string `//IGNORE`, characters that cannot be represented in the target charset are silently discarded. Otherwise, `str` is cut from the first illegal character.

`str`

  The string to be converted.

## Valores de retornado

Returns the converted string or `FALSE` on failure.

## Exemplos

Exemplo 1. iconv() example
`<?php echo iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", "This is a test."); ?>`
