This is a valid bug. $node->substringData($start , $length) as a workaround for now. All of the DOMCharacterData methods are UTF-8 safe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-17 18:18:59] tularis@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php in PHP < 6, this is expected behaviour. PHP < 6 just isn't unicode-aware by default. It should work in PHP 6 however.

"\n"; $matched = $node->splitText($start); $matched->splitText($length); print "Actual (splitText): $matched->textContent\n"; Expected result: ---------------- Text: This is an ‘example’ of using DOM splitText Expected (mb_substr): DOM Actual (splitText): DOM Actual result: -------------- Text: This is an ‘example’ of using DOM splitText Expected (mb_substr): DOM Actual (splitText): ing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46335&edit=1
