Right, this should probably be documented. This change was backported in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/0ecac37c40a27ffbd59f34b5920735ee0b7f994c#diff-3b307ca282b8a468c86220f768eea0d7
which is in 7.1.28, 7.2.18 and 7.3.5. For other mb_regex functions apart from mb_split and
mb_ereg_match this was already checked previously, though I'm not sure since when.

Ok, I figure to clear the error using mb_regex_encoding, thanks for the suggestion.
But is there any documentation available about this change of behaviour? For information, I found
this burried into Smarty lib. I can ensure correct behaviour of mb_split on my app, by maybe I will
not be the lone to be impacted.

The default encoding is UTF-8, use mb_regex_encoding() if you are working with something else.

I cannot reproduce this, it seems to work pretty consistently: https://3v4l.org/QqYjC

Description:
------------
It seems that something changes in 7.2.18 when using mb_split on ISO string.
On at least 7.2.16 & 7.2.17, using this function with ISO encoding string containing accents
works fine.
On a new env with version 7.2.18, the same code now return "false" (new undocumented
behaviour)
Test script:
---------------
var_dump(mb_split('-', 'e-a'));
//works fine on any version
var_dump(mb_split('-', 'é-a'));
// works if string is UTF8 encoded
// return "false" with an ISO encoded string on PHP 7.2.18
