Hi:

   I have filed a bug about this issue: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60306

   following script:

<?
$s = "洪仁";
var_dump(mb_convert_encoding($s, "utf8", "gbk"));

var_dump(iconv("gbk", "utf8", $s));
?>

save the script in fenc=cp936

then, run the script in php5.4 , output is :

string(3) "洪"
string(6) "洪仁"

characters lost while converting from cp936 to utf8. this is really a big
problem.....


thanks
