static function getPhpCcsid()

The current code relies on the CCSID variable being set in fastcgi.conf. This variable might not always be set. Get the actual CCSID instead.

It affects the CW. Possibly spool file functionality.

For now, ensure compatibility with previous PHP builds and releases by ensuring that the CCSID variable is set in fastcgi.conf. For example, we will make this change in the Seiden CommunityPlus+ PHP siteadd template.

In future, eliminate the need for this method, which is only used by the CW spool file data function, by utilizing SYSTOOLS.SPOOLED_FILE_DATA (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/rzajq/rzajqudfspooldata.htm).

Disadvantages of SYSTOOLS.SPOOLED_FILE_DATA:

• Supported only in IBM i 7.3 and higher. Not available in IBM i 7.2.
• Provided by IBM as an example only in SYSTOOLS
• Requires sufficient permissions to call CPYSPLF (the underlying CL command).
