Status: Open

New Comment:
Without the offset parameter, this function is quite useless, because it will
behave exact like a binary safe substr_count() with $offset=0. In other words;
There is only a need for a multi byte aware substr_count when $offset > 0 â¦

The problem goes deeper. substr_count() takes 4 parameters while
mb_substr_count() only takes three (and the third doens't even have the same
meaning), which produces errors such as this:
mb_substr_count() expects at most 3 parameters, 4 given
This makes the mbstring.func_overload configuration parameter misbehave.

Description:
------------
I'm using the mbstring_funcoverload property defined to 7 which allows the
overload of every functions. While using the function substr_count with the 3
parameter (offset) defined. As overloading is activated, calling substr_count
is equivalent to calling mb_substr_count but the offset parameter does not
exists for this function
Reproduce code:
---------------
In php.ini: mbstring.func_overload 7
$var = substr_count('/some/path', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, 0);
Expected result:
----------------
1
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: mb_substr_count(): Unknown encoding "0" in php shell code on line 1
Call Stack:

6.0376 46648 2. mb_substr_count() php shell code:1
