If from_encoding is omitted or null, the mbstring.internal_encoding setting will be used if set, otherwise the default_charset setting. See supported encodings for valid values of to_encoding and from_encoding. The encoded string or array on success, or false on failure. As of PHP 8.0.0, a ValueError is thrown if the value of to_encoding or from_encoding is an invalid encoding. Prior to PHP 8.0.0, a E_WARNING was emitted instead. ... <?php /* Convert internal character encoding to SJIS */ $str = mb_convert_encoding($str, "SJIS"); /* Convert EUC-JP to UTF-7 */ $str = mb_convert_encoding($str, "

php - utf8_encode and mb_convert_encoding Conflicting Resuts - Stack Overflow
ED is the latin1 encoding for í. You should find what is encoding in latin1, then either change it to use UTF-8 (aka MySQL's CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4) or tell MySQL that your data is in CHARACTER SET latin1 and let it convert as it stores (INSERTs) and retrieves (SELECTs) it. Do not use any conversion routines (mb_*), that tends to make the mess worse.

April 14, 2024 - So I Google and apparently you need to enable the mbstring extension for mb_convert_encoding() to work. Online guides say you can enable it by going to php.ini and uncommenting the extension=mbstring line.

A lot of newer Linux servers do not have PHP Multibyte modules installed by default. A simple solution is often to install php-mbstring.
On Red Hat flavors (CentOS, Fedora, etc.) you can use yum install php-mbstring.
Make sure you restart your Apache server afterwards. Use service httpd restart on RH flavors.

In the case of your installation is php5.6 is similar to solution of neilsimp1:
Running sudo apt-get install php7.0-mbstring and then sudo service php7.0-fpm restart did the trick for me.
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mbstring
and then restart apache service
sudo service apache2 restart.

iconv() is just a wrapper around the iconv() function found in the system C library where PHP is running (unless PHP is built with GNU iconv, in which case GNU iconv is used). So the performance and features of iconv() depend on where you are running PHP and how it is built.
The implementation of mb_convert_encoding(), on the other hand, is included in the PHP (module) source. It includes a library called libmbfl which handles the actual conversion. Thus it works the same regardless of where you're running PHP. There is a list of supported encodings here: http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.encodings.php
So, in summary, I guess you could say that mb_convert_encoding() is more reliable to use if you want to support different platforms. However, if you use iconv() on Linux (for example), then it supports a lot more encodings (see iconv --list).
The relative performance of the functions also depends on the specific iconv() implementation, obviously.

Since PHP 5.4 there is a bug. Sometime iconv returns null string instead of returning a string with 'similar' char.
So you should use mb_convert_encoding.
