This extension has been moved to the » PECL repository and is no longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 7.4.0
Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » https://pecl.php.net/package/recode.
To be able to use the functions defined in this module you must compile your PHP interpreter using the --with-recode[=DIR] option.
Crashes and startup problems of PHP may be encountered
when loading the recode as extension after loading any extension of mysql or imap. Loading the recode before those
extension has proved to fix the problem. This is due a technical problem
that both the c-client library used by imap and recode have their own
hash_lookup() function and both mysql and recode have
their own hash_insert function.
