when i convert form phpBB2.X in Hebrew with iso-8859-8-i encoding to phpBB3.RC2cvs there is en error:

Unknown encoding: iso-8859-8

this is in the phpBB 3.0.RC2cvs

in the file: includes/utf/utf_tools.php you added the lines:

Code: Select all: // convert iso-8859-8-i to iso-8859-8 else if ($encoding == 'iso-8859-8-i') { $encoding = 'iso-8859-8'; $string = hebrev($string); }

but nothing is done with the iso-8859-8 encoding after that.

The iconv extension is supposed to deal with iso-8859-8; at the moment iconv is required, sorry.

Why is that?
Is there no way to work with the "iso-8859-8-i" encoding in the convert?

I found that if i change the encoding in phpBB2.X main lang file to "windows-1255" it is working fine.
So i recommend you to try change the code in the includes/utf/utf_tools.php file to something like:

Code: Select all: // convert iso-8859-8-i to windows-1255 else if ($encoding == 'iso-8859-8-i') { $encoding = 'windows-1255'; $string = hebrev($string); }
