Note: Note to Windows? Users
In order to enable this module on a Windows? environment, you need to put a DLL file named iconv.dll or iconv-1.3.dll (prior to 4.2.1) which is bundled with the PHP/Win32 binary package into a directory specified by the PATH environment variable or one of the system directories of your Windows? installation. This module is part of PHP as of PHP 5 thus iconv.dll and php_iconv.dll is not needed anymore.
