how to get list of supported encodings by iconv library in php?

Question

Is it possible like in the mcrypt library with function mcrypt_list_algorithms(). Is there a iconv_list_encodings like function ?

Answer 1

If using GLIBC's iconv, the list of encodings and aliases is usually in:

/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules

If using Debian multiarch, it will instead be in:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gconv/gconv-modules

Note that aliases for ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE, and UTF-32LE are not listed there.
