TYPO3 Core

When using strings with multibyte characters, the strings are not padded correctly with TypoScript strPad.

The result is the same as with PHP str_pad() which also does not work correctly with multibyte characters (as str_pad() is used under the hood).

Example: Reproduce¶

TypoScript

page >
page = PAGE

page.30 = TEXT
page.30.value = hellö
page.30.value.strPad {
     length = 10
     padWith = *
     type = both
}

page.40 = TEXT
page.40.value = <br/>

page.50 = TEXT
page.50.value = hello
page.50.value.strPad {
     length = 10
     padWith = *
     type = both
}

Result¶

**hellö**
**hello***

Expected result¶

**hellö***
**hello***
