php-extension iconv for moodle installed?

[wolfhink]

As I would like to update my moodle version to moodle 1.6 I have to be sure, that the php-extension iconv is installed/enabled. How can I check that? And is there a chance to install and enable it on my own?
Thanks a lot

Checking this is easy: create a file with the .php extension, and place the following in it:

<? phpinfo() ?>

Then upload the file somewhere under public_html, and open it in a browser.

This should tell you if iconv is available. If you are hosted on a PHP5 server, iconv must be there. Most PHP4 servers don't have it though.
