title: iconv in Mac OS X 10.7.3 does nothing
body: <p>I am trying to convert a php file (client.php) from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 and the following command does nothing on the file:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 client.php</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Upon execution the original file contents are displayed.</p>
  
  <p>In fact, when I check for the file's encoding after executing <strong>iconv</strong> with:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>file -I client.php</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The same old utf-8 is shown:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>client.php:           text/x-php; charset=utf-8</p>
  </blockquote>
