A small note for those who will follow rawsrc at gmail dot com's advice: mb_split uses regular expressions, in which case it may make sense to use built-in function mb_ereg_replace.
[#2] mattr at telebody dot com [2014-05-19 07:29:07]
A brief note on Daniel Rhodes' mb_punctuation_trim().
The regular expression modifier u does not mean ungreedy, rather it means the pattern is in UTF-8 encoding. Instead the U modifier should be used to get ungreedy behavior. (I have not otherwise tested his code.)
See http://php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php

Yet another single-line mb_trim() function
<?php
function mb_trim($string, $trim_chars = '\s'){
return preg_replace('/^['.$trim_chars.']*(?U)(.*)['.$trim_chars.']*$/u', '\\1',$string);
}
$string = ' "some text." ';
echo mb_trim($string, '\s".');
//some text
?>

Here's a cheap and cheeky function to remove leading and trailing *punctuation* (or more specifically "non-word characters") from a UTF-8 string in whatever language. (At least it works well enough for Japanese and English.)
function mb_punctuation_trim($string)
{
preg_match('/^[^\w]{0,}(.*?)[^\w]{0,}$/iu', $string, $matches); //case-'i'nsensitive and 'u'ngreedy
if(count($matches) < 2)
{
//some strange error so just return the original input
return $string;
}
return $matches[1];
}
Hope you like it!

Please note that all the discussion about mb_str_replace in the comments is pretty pointless. str_replace works just fine with multibyte strings:
<?php
$string = '?h???????`??';
$needle = '??';
$replace = 'Foo';
echo str_replace($needle, $replace, $string);
// outputs: ?h??Foo?????`??
?>
The usual problem is that the string is evaluated as binary string, meaning PHP is not aware of encodings at all. Problems arise if you are getting a value "from outside" somewhere (database, POST request) and the encoding of the needle and the haystack is not the same. That typically means the source code is not saved in the same encoding as you are receiving "from outside". Therefore the binary representations don't match and nothing happens.

Hi,
For those who are looking for mb_str_replace, here's a simple function :
<?php
function mb_str_replace($needle, $replacement, $haystack) {
return implode($replacement, mb_split($needle, $haystack));
}
?>
I haven't found a simpliest way to proceed :-)
[#9] efesar [2011-01-28 14:21:13]
This small mb_trim function works for me.
<?php
function mb_trim( $string )
{
$string = preg_replace( "/(^\s+)|(\s+$)/us", "", $string );
return $string;
}
?>

Please note that when migrating code to handle UTF-8 encoding, not only the functions mentioned here are useful, but also the function htmlentities() has to be changed to htmlentities($var, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8") or similar. I didn't scan the manual for it, but there could be some more functions that need adjustments like this.

A multibyte one-to-one alternative for the str_split function (http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-split.php):
<?php
function mb_str_split($string, $split_length = 1){
mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');
$split_length = ($split_length <= 0) ? 1 : $split_length;
$mb_strlen = mb_strlen($string, 'utf-8');
$array = array();
for($i = 0; $i < $mb_strlen; $i + $split_length){
$array[] = mb_substr($string, $i, $split_length);
}
return $array;
}
?>

The function trim() has not failed me so far in my multibyte applications, but in case one needs a truly multibyte function, here it is. The nice thing is that the character to remove can be whitespace or any other specified character, even a multibyte character.
<?php
// multibyte string split
function mbStringToArray ($str) {
if (empty($str)) return false;
$len = mb_strlen($str);
$array = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
$array[] = mb_substr($str, $i, 1);
}
return $array;
}
// removes $rem at both ends
function mb_trim ($str, $rem = ' ') {
if (empty($str)) return false;
// convert to array
$arr = mbStringToArray($str);
$len = count($arr);
// left side
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
if ($arr[$i] === $rem) $arr[$i] = '';
else break;
}
// right side
for ($i = $len-1; $i >= 0; $i--) {
if ($arr[$i] === $rem) $arr[$i] = '';
else break;
}
// convert to string
return implode ('', $arr);
}
?>
[#14] roydukkey at roydukkey dot com [2009-10-22 21:31:00]
This would be one way to create a multibyte substr_replace function
<?php
function mb_substr_replace($output, $replace, $posOpen, $posClose) {
return mb_substr($output, 0, $posOpen).$replace.mb_substr($output, $posClose+1);
}
?>
[#15] sakai at d4k dot net [2009-06-26 05:46:32]
I hope this mb_str_replace will work for arrays. Please use mb_internal_encoding() beforehand, if you need to change the encoding.
Thanks to marc at ermshaus dot org for the original.
<?php
if(!function_exists('mb_str_replace')) {
function mb_str_replace($search, $replace, $subject) {
if(is_array($subject)) {
$ret = array();
foreach($subject as $key => $val) {
$ret[$key] = mb_str_replace($search, $replace, $val);
}
return $ret;
}
foreach((array) $search as $key => $s) {
if($s == '') {
continue;
}
$r = !is_array($replace) ? $replace : (array_key_exists($key, $replace) ? $replace[$key] : '');
$pos = mb_strpos($subject, $s);
while($pos !== false) {
$subject = mb_substr($subject, 0, $pos) . $r . mb_substr($subject, $pos + mb_strlen($s));
$pos = mb_strpos($subject, $s, $pos + mb_strlen($r));
}
}
return $subject;
}

[#17] Ben XO [2008-11-16 17:14:12]
PHP5 has no mb_trim(), so here's one I made. It work just as trim(), but with the added bonus of PCRE character classes (including, of course, all the useful Unicode ones such as \pZ).
Unlike other approaches that I've seen to this problem, I wanted to emulate the full functionality of trim() - in particular, the ability to customise the character list.
<?php
function mb_trim($string, $charlist='\\\\s', $ltrim=true, $rtrim=true)
{
$both_ends = $ltrim && $rtrim;
$char_class_inner = preg_replace(
array( '/[\^\-\]\\\]/S', '/\\\{4}/S' ),
array( '\\\\\\0', '\\' ),
$charlist
);
$work_horse = '[' . $char_class_inner . ']+';
$ltrim && $left_pattern = '^' . $work_horse;
$rtrim && $right_pattern = $work_horse . '$';
if($both_ends)
{
$pattern_middle = $left_pattern . '|' . $right_pattern;
}
elseif($ltrim)
{
$pattern_middle = $left_pattern;
}
else
{
$pattern_middle = $right_pattern;
}
return preg_replace("/$pattern_middle/usSD", '', $string) );
}
?>

A small correction to patrick at hexane dot org's mb_str_replace function. The original function does not work as intended in case $replacement contains $needle.
<?php
function mb_str_replace($needle, $replacement, $haystack)
{
$needle_len = mb_strlen($needle);
$replacement_len = mb_strlen($replacement);
$pos = mb_strpos($haystack, $needle);
while ($pos !== false)
{
$haystack = mb_substr($haystack, 0, $pos) . $replacement
. mb_substr($haystack, $pos + $needle_len);
$pos = mb_strpos($haystack, $needle, $pos + $replacement_len);
}
return $haystack;
}
?>
[#19] patrick at hexane dot org [2008-06-27 08:18:44]
I wonder why there isn't a mb_str_replace(). Here's one for now:
function mb_str_replace( $needle, $replacement, $haystack ) {
$needle_len = mb_strlen($needle);
$pos = mb_strpos( $haystack, $needle);
while (!($pos ===false)) {
$front = mb_substr( $haystack, 0, $pos );
$back = mb_substr( $haystack, $pos + $needle_len);
$haystack = $front.$replacement.$back;
$pos = mb_strpos( $haystack, $needle);
}
return $haystack;
}

The opposite of what Eugene Murai wrote in a previous comment is true when importing/uploading a file. For instance, if you export an Excel spreadsheet using the Save As Unicode Text option, you can use the following to convert it to UTF-8 after uploading:
//Convert file to UTF-8 in case Windows mucked it up
$file = explode( "\n", mb_convert_encoding( trim( file_get_contents( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] ) ), 'UTF-8', 'UTF-16' ) );

Note that some of the multi-byte functions run in O(n) time, rather than constant time as is the case for their single-byte equivalents. This includes any functionality requiring access at a specific index, since random access is not possible in a string whose number of bytes will not necessarily match the number of characters. Affected functions include: mb_substr(), mb_strstr(), mb_strcut(), mb_strpos(), etc.
[#22] motin at demomusic dot nu [2007-01-19 17:12:41]
As peter dot albertsson at spray dot se already pointed out, overloading strlen may break code that handles binary data and relies upon strlen for bytelengths.
The problem occurs when a file is filled with a string using fwrite in the following manner:
$len = strlen($data);
fwrite($fp, $data, $len);
fwrite takes amount of bytes as the third parameter, but mb_strlen returns the amount of characters in the string. Since multibyte characters are possibly more than one byte in length each - this will result in that the last characters of $data never gets written to the file.
After hours of investigating why PEAR::Cache_Lite didn't work - the above is what I found.
I made an attempt at using single byte functions, but it doesn't work. Posting here anyway in case it helps someone else:
function sb_string() {
$arguments = func_get_args();
$func_overloading = ini_get("mbstring.func_overload");
ini_set("mbstring.func_overload", 0);
$ret = call_user_func_array(array_shift($arguments), $arguments);
ini_set("mbstring.func_overload", $func_overloading);
return $ret;
}

If you are trying to emulate the UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes() function in .NET, the encoding you want to use is: UCS-2LE

Since PHP 5.1.0 and PHP 4.4.2 there is an Armenian ArmSCII-8 (ArmSCII-8, ArmSCII8, ARMSCII-8, ARMSCII8) encoding avaliable.
[#25] daniel at softel dot jp [2006-07-24 04:41:14]
Note that although "multi-byte" hints at total internationalization, the mb_ API was designed by a Japanese person to support the Japanese language.
Some of the functions, for example mb_convert_kana(), make absolutely no sense outside of a Japanese language environment.
It should perhaps be considered "lucky" if the functions work with non-Japanese multi-byte languages.
I don't mean any disrespect to the mb_ API because I'm using it everyday and I appreciate its usefulness, but maybe a better name would be the jp_ API.
[#26] Aardvark [2006-03-13 11:37:25]
Since not all hosted servces currently support the multi-byte function set, it may still be necessary to process Unicode strings using standard single byte functions. The function at the following link - http://www.kanolife.com/escape/2006/03/php-unicode-processing.html - shows by example how to do this. While this only covers UTF-8, the standard PHP function "iconv" allows conversion into and out of UTF-8 if strings need to be input or output in other encodings.

UTF-16LE solution for CSV for Excel by Eugene Murai works well:
$unicode_str_for_Excel = chr(255).chr(254).mb_convert_encoding( $utf8_str, 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-8');
However, then Excel on Mac OS X doesn't identify columns properly and its puts each whole row in its own cell. In order to fix that, use TAB "\\t" character as CSV delimiter rather than comma or colon.
You may also want to use HTTP encoding header, such as
header( "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UTF-16LE" );
[#28] [2005-08-14 19:24:02]
get the string octet-size, when mbstring.func_overload is set to 2 :
<?php
function str_sizeof($string) {
return count(preg_split("`.`", $string)) - 1 ;
}
?>
answering to peter albertsson, once you got your data octet-size, you can access each octet with something
$string[0] ... $string[$size-1], since the [ operator doesn't complies with multibytes strings.
[#29] peter dot albertsson at spray dot se [2005-05-21 03:43:38]
Setting mbstring.func_overload = 2 may break your applications that deal with binary data.
After having set mbstring.func_overload = 2 and mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8 I can't even read a binary file and print/echo it to output without corrupting it.

A friend has pointed out that the entry
"mbstring.http_input PHP_INI_ALL" in Table 1 on the mbstring page appears to be wrong: above Example 4 it says that "There is no way to control HTTP input character conversion from PHP script. To disable HTTP input character conversion, it has to be done in php.ini".
Also the table shows the old-PHP-version defaults:
;; Disable HTTP Input conversion
mbstring.http_input = pass *BUT* (for PHP 4.3.0 or higher)
;; Disable HTTP Input conversion
mbstring.encoding_translation = Off
[#31] Eugene Murai [2005-02-23 22:20:27]
PHP can input and output Unicode, but a little different from what Microsoft means: when Microsoft says "Unicode", it unexplicitly means little-endian UTF-16 with BOM(FF FE = chr(255).chr(254)), whereas PHP's "UTF-16" means big-endian with BOM. For this reason, PHP does not seem to be able to output Unicode CSV file for Microsoft Excel. Solving this problem is quite simple: just put BOM infront of UTF-16LE string.
Example:
$unicode_str_for_Excel = chr(255).chr(254).mb_convert_encoding( $utf8_str, 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-8');
