substr_replace encoding in PHP

I want to write to a text file. When I use substr_replace in php the encoding changes. It doesn't print Greek Characters correctly. If I don't everything is fine. Any suggestions?

<?php
$file = "test.txt";
$writeFile = fopen($file, "w+");//read/write
$myarray = array("δφδφ","δφδσφδσ","δφδφδ");
$myarray[0] = substr_replace($myarray[0],"ε", 0,1);

foreach ($myarray as $data){      
fwrite($writeFile, $data."\n");
}
?>

OUTCOME
ε�φδφ
δφδσφδσ
δφδφδ

OUTCOME WITH NO substr_replace
δφδφ
δφδσφδσ
δφδφδ

You can use these two functions:

from shkspr.mobi

function mb_substr_replace($original, $replacement, $position, $length)
{
 $startString = mb_substr($original, 0, $position, "UTF-8");
 $endString = mb_substr($original, $position + $length, mb_strlen($original), "UTF-8");

 $out = $startString . $replacement . $endString;

 return $out;
}

From GitHub

function mb_substr_replace($str, $repl, $start, $length = null)
{
    preg_match_all('/./us', $str, $ar);
    preg_match_all('/./us', $repl, $rar);
    $length = is_int($length) ? $length : utf8_strlen($str);
    array_splice($ar[0], $start, $length, $rar[0]);
    return implode($ar[0]);
}

I tried both and both work well

Assuming you're encoding the Greek in a multi-byte encoding (like UTF-8), this won't work because the core PHP string functions, including substr_replace, are not multi-byte aware. They treat one character as equal to one byte, which means you'll end up slicing multi-byte characters in half if you only replace their first byte. You need to use a more manual approach involving a multi-byte aware string function like mb_substr:

mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
echo 'ε' . mb_substr('δφδφ', 1);

The comment @arma links to in the comments wraps that functionality in a function.

Try this version:

function mb_substr_replace ($string, $replacement, $start, $length = 0) 
{
    if (is_array($string)) 
    {
        foreach ($string as $i => $val)
        {
            $repl = is_array ($replacement) ? $replacement[$i] : $replacement;
            $st   = is_array ($start) ? $start[$i] : $start;
            $len  = is_array ($length) ? $length[$i] : $length;

            $string[$i] = mb_substr_replace ($val, $repl, $st, $len);
        }

        return $string;
    }

    $result  = mb_substr ($string, 0, $start, 'UTF-8');
    $result .= $replacement;

    if ($length > 0) {
        $result .= mb_substr ($string, ($start+$length+1), mb_strlen($string, 'UTF-8'), 'UTF-8');
    }

    return $result;
}

function replace($string, $replacement, $start, $length = 0)
{
    $result  = mb_substr ($string, 0, $start, 'UTF-8');
    $result .= $replacement;

    if ($length > 0)
    {
        $result .= mb_substr($string, ($start + $length), null, 'UTF-8');
    }

    return $result;
}

You could try using the mb_convert_encoding() function to set the correct encoding.
