Passing null as length will not make mb_substr use it's default, instead it will interpret it as 0.
<?php
mb_substr($str,$start,null,$encoding); //Returns '' (empty string) just like substr()
?>
Instead use:
<?php
mb_substr($str,$start,mb_strlen($str),$encoding);
?>

mb_substr — Dizgenin bir alt dizgesini alır
Açıklama
string mb_substr
( string
$dizge
, int $başlangıç
[, int $uzunluk
[, string $kodlama
]] )
Karakterler üzerinde güvenilir bir çok baytlı substr()
işlemi gerçekleştirir. başlangıç konumuna
dizge başlangıcından sayılarak erişilir. Belirtilen
dizgenin ilk karakterinin indisinin 0 olduğu varsayılır.

-
kodlama -

If start is negative, the returned string will start at the start'th character from the end of string

A proper (logical) alternative for unicode strings;
<?php
function substr_unicode($str, $s, $l = null) {
return join("", array_slice(
preg_split("//u", $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY), $s, $l));
}
$str = "Büyük";
$s = 0; // start from "0" (nth) char
$l = 3; // get "3" chars
echo substr($str, $s, $l) ."\n"; // Bü
echo mb_substr($str, $s, $l) ."\n"; // Bü
echo substr_unicode($str, $s, $l); // Büy
?>

A simple code that check if the latest symbol in the string is a question mark and adds one if it doesn't...
<?php $string = (mb_substr($string, -1, 1, 'UTF-8') != '?') ? $string.'?' : $string; ?>

Thanks Darien from /freenode #php for the following example (a little bit changed).
It just prints the 6th character of $string.
You can replace the digits by the same in japanese, chinese or whatever language to make a test, it works perfect.
<?php
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
$string = "0123456789";
$mystring = mb_substr($string,5,1);
echo $mystring;
?>
(I couldn't replace 0123456789 by chinese numbers for example here, because it's automatically converted into latin digits on this website, look :
零一二三四
五六七八九)

quick and dirty loop through multibyte string
<?php
function get_character_classes($string, $encoding = "UTF-8") {
$current_encoding = mb_internal_encoding();
mb_internal_encoding($encoding);
$has = array();
$stringlength = mb_strlen($string, $encoding);
for ($i=0; $i < $stringlength; $i++) {
$c = mb_substr($string, $i, 1);
if (($c >= "0") && ($c <= "9")) {
$has['numeric'] = "numeric";
} else if (($c >= "a") && ($c <= "z")) {
$has['alpha'] = "alpha";
$has['alphalower'] = 'alphalower';
} else if (($c >= "A") && ($c <= "Z")) {
$has['alpha'] = "alpha";
$has['alphaupper'] = "alphaupper";
} else if (($c == "$") || ($c == "£")) {
$has['currency'] = "currency";
} else if (($c == ".") && ($has['decimal'])) {
$has['decimals'] = "decimals";
} else if ($c == ".") {
$has['decimal'] = "decimal";
} else if ($c == ",") {
$has['comma'] = "comma";
} else if ($c == "-") {
$has['dash'] = "dash";
} else if ($c == " ") {
$has['space'] = "space";
} else if ($c == "/") {
$has['slash'] = "slash";
} else if ($c == ":") {
$has['colon'] = "colon";
} else if (($c >= " ") && ($c <= "~")) {
$has['ascii'] = "ascii";
} else {
$has['binary'] = "binary";

Note: If borders are out of string - mb_string() returns empty _string_, when function substr() returns _boolean_ false in this case.
Keep this in mind when using "===" comparisions.
Example code:
<?php
var_dump( substr( 'abc', 5, 2 ) ); // returns "false"
var_dump( mb_substr( 'abc', 5, 2 ) ); // returns ""
?>
It's especially confusing when using mbstring with function overloading turned on.

I'm trying to capitalize only the first character of the string and tried some of the examples above but they didn't work. It seems mb_substr() cannot calculate the length of the string in multi-byte encoding (UTF-8) and it should be set explicitly. Here is the corrected version:
<?php
function mb_ucfirst($str, $enc = 'utf-8') {
return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($str, 0, 1, $enc), $enc).mb_substr($str, 1, mb_strlen($str, $enc), $enc);
}
?>
cheers!

Here is my solution to highlighting search queries in multibyte text:
<?php
function mb_highlight($data, $query, $ins_before, $ins_after)
{
$result = '';
while (($poz = mb_strpos(mb_strtolower($data), mb_strtolower($query))) !== false)
{
$query_len = mb_strlen ($query);
$result .= mb_substr ($data, 0, $poz).
$ins_before.
mb_substr ($data, $poz, $query_len).
$ins_after;
$data = mb_substr ($data, $poz+$query_len);
}
return $result;
}
?>
Enjoy!
