the autolink feature in "wordbook" module doesnt work for unicode(utf-8) charset when the $search_term have more than 3 characters. i dont know about the pattern of this function.

this is the code from wordbook/entry.php
// singular
$term_q preg_quote($term'/');
$search_term "/b$term_qb/i";
$replace_term ".XOOPS_URL."/modules/".$xoopsModule->dirname()."/entry.php?entryID=".ucfirst($entryID)."'>".$term."";
$parts[$key] = preg_replace($search_term$replace_term,$parts[$key]);



for example with this term it works fine:

$test1=preg_replace("/\bعلی\b/i", "change ok","علی");

but if i use a more than 3 characters term it is fail to find that term:
$test2=preg_replace("/\bعلیب\b/i", "change NOT ok","علیب");

phppp get me this answer:
Quote:

It is not necessarily a pre_replace - unicode problem, but more like a word boundary for multibyte language problem.


ANYONE CAN HELP?

With no guarantee at all: I've read the preg functions have better utf support in recent PHP versions.
Quote:
u (PCRE_UTF8)
This modifier turns on additional functionality of PCRE that is incompatible with Perl. Pattern strings are treated as UTF-8. This modifier is available from PHP 4.1.0 or greater on Unix and from PHP 4.2.3 on win32. UTF-8 validity of the pattern is checked since PHP 4.3.5.


So you may want to try adding this modifier to the regexp:
$search_term "/b$term_qb/i";
// change to
$search_term "/b$term_qb/iu";

I found that here, on the pattern modifiers PHP manual page.

Actually, there are a lot of comments on this page about UTF-8, you may find the solution to your problem there.

I now this old topic but maybe he not fixed.

you will find 3 sentences in entry.php
$search_term = "/\b$term_q\b/i"

change all to

$search_term = "/$term_q([^A-Za-z0-9_-])/i";

I tested in my website
