Works as designed. The fact substr and mb_substr do not have the same behavior
does not mean one of the is wrong. Besides, there would be compatibility issues
in changing the behavior of one of them.

yes but no one uses mbstring overload
in plus it is nearly-always not available on hosts, because it can't be enabled
per-dir (read: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51415)
so i think this should be fixed

If you turn on mbstring.func_overload mb_substr will return false. Otherwise it
returns ""

hi, it is possible to make mb_substr work exactly like substr?
substr("",0,10) // returns false
mb_substr("",0,10) // returns ""
substr("abc",7,1) // returns false
mb_substr("abc",7,1) // returns ""
thank you
