just fyi, iconv_substr() unknown error (0) has been resolved in PHP 5.2
you can also try mb_substr() or just substr() when dealing with this issue. Unfortunately there is no way to fix it in versions prior to 5.2.

iconv_substr — Cut out part of a string
$string
,$offset
,$length
= null
,$encoding
= null
Cuts a portion of string
specified by the
offset
and length
parameters.
string
The original string.
offset
If offset
is non-negative,
iconv_substr() cuts the portion out of
string
beginning at offset
'th
character, counting from zero.
If offset
is negative,
iconv_substr() cuts out the portion beginning
at the position, offset
characters
away from the end of string
.
length
If length
is given and is positive, the return
value will contain at most length
characters
of the portion that begins at offset
(depending on the length of string
).
If negative length
is passed,
iconv_substr() cuts the portion out of
string
from the offset
'th
character up to the character that is
length
characters away from the end of the string.
In case offset
is also negative, the start position
is calculated beforehand according to the rule explained above.
encoding
If encoding
parameter is omitted or null
,
string
are assumed to be encoded in
iconv.internal_encoding.
Note that offset
and length
parameters are always deemed to represent offsets that are
calculated on the basis of the character set determined by
encoding
, whilst the counterpart
substr() always takes these for byte offsets.
Returns the portion of string
specified by the
offset
and length
parameters.
If string
is shorter than offset
characters long, false
will be returned.
If string
is exactly offset
characters long, an empty string will be returned.
Version | Description |
