If you are trying to install Joomla (or other CMS) in php 5.6 environment and encounter the error :\u00a0Deprecated: iconv_set_encoding()
\n– I’ve got a solution for you.<\/p>\n

The error may look like following:<\/p>\n

Deprecated<\/b>: iconv_set_encoding(): Use of iconv.internal_encoding is deprecated in\u00a0joomlaroot<\/strong><\/span>\\libraries\\joomla\\string\\string.php<\/b>\u00a0on line\u00a0<\/span>27<\/b>

Open the file string.php in “joomlaroot<\/strong><\/span>\\libraries\\joomla\\string\\”<\/b>\u00a0directory. Go to line 27.<\/p>\n

Now change the following lines:<\/p>\n

if (function_exists(‘iconv’))
\n{
\n\/\/ These are settings that can be set inside code
\niconv_set_encoding(“internal_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
\niconv_set_encoding(“input_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
\niconv_set_encoding(“output_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
\n}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

to the following:<\/p>\n

if (function_exists(‘iconv’) && PHP_VERSION_ID < 50600)
\n{
\n\/\/ These are settings that can be set inside code
\niconv_set_encoding(“internal_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
\niconv_set_encoding(“input_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
\niconv_set_encoding(“output_encoding”, “UTF-8”);
\n}
\nelseif (PHP_VERSION_ID >= 50600)
\n{
\nini_set(‘default_charset’, ‘UTF-8’);
\n}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This should resolve the problem and let you progress to the next level during Joomla installation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
