If you are trying to install Joomla (or other CMS) in php 5.6 environment and encounter the error : Deprecated: iconv_set_encoding()
– I’ve got a solution for you.
The error may look like following:
Deprecated: iconv_set_encoding(): Use of iconv.internal_encoding is deprecated in joomlaroot\libraries\joomla\string\string.php on line 27
Deprecated: iconv_set_encoding(): Use of iconv.input_encoding is deprecated in joomlaroot\libraries\joomla\string\string.php on line 28
Deprecated: iconv_set_encoding(): Use of iconv.output_encoding is deprecated in joomlaroot\libraries\joomla\string\string.php on line 29
Open the file string.php in “joomlaroot\libraries\joomla\string\” directory. Go to line 27.
Now change the following lines:
if (function_exists(‘iconv’))
{
// These are settings that can be set inside code
iconv_set_encoding(“internal_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
iconv_set_encoding(“input_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
iconv_set_encoding(“output_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
}
to the following:
if (function_exists(‘iconv’) && PHP_VERSION_ID < 50600)
{
// These are settings that can be set inside code
iconv_set_encoding(“internal_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
iconv_set_encoding(“input_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
iconv_set_encoding(“output_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
}
elseif (PHP_VERSION_ID >= 50600)
{
ini_set(‘default_charset’, ‘UTF-8’);
}
This should resolve the problem and let you progress to the next level during Joomla installation.
I’m sorry I tried to do as listed by you but it does not work. Now tell me syntax error?
>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in C:\Users\Monica\xampp\htdocs\gruppoalbatro\libraries\joomla\string\string.php on line 32
very good tutorial thank you very much
I’ve got a solution doing this:
Change de following lines:
-if (function_exists(‘iconv’))
{
// These are settings that can be set inside code
iconv_set_encoding(“internal_encoding”, “UTF-8?);
iconv_set_encoding(“input_encoding”, “UTF-8?);
iconv_set_encoding(“output_encoding”, “UTF-8?);
}
to the following:
if (PHP_VERSION_ID < 50600) {
iconv_set_encoding('input_encoding', 'UTF-8');
iconv_set_encoding('output_encoding', 'UTF-8');
iconv_set_encoding('internal_encoding', 'UTF-8');
} else {
ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8');
}

Or change code by this

{
// These are settings that can be set inside code
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, ‘5.6’, ‘>=’))
{
@ini_set(‘default_charset’, ‘UTF-8’);
}
else
{
iconv_set_encoding(“internal_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
iconv_set_encoding(“input_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
iconv_set_encoding(“output_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
}
}
