I have no idea what might be the problem but I would probably start by
seeing what the difference is at the ascii level.
preg_split the strings and run ord on each one
foreach ( preg_split("//","this is a string") as $char ) {
echo "The ascii value for $char is ". ord($char) . "\n";
}
post the results from both sources and lets see what can be found.
