Zend_Locale_Format::_parseDate() does not split Chinese date format

[Frank Quosdorf]

In the bootstrap, I set an application wide locale to Chinese:

Zend_Registry::set("Zend_Locale", new Zend_Locale("zh_CN"));

In a controller, I get an instance of Zend_Date:
 
$this->view->date = new Zend_Date();

In a view script, I display the date:

<p>Date: <?=$this->date->getDate()?></p>

The view script has been meta-tagged UTF-8

When rendering the view script, Zend_Locale_Format::_parseDate() throws an exception in line 662 after unsuccessfully testing the Chinese date format string:

if ((!in_array($splitted, $test)) and (ctype_alpha($splitted)))

Did some testing replacing _parseDate's

$format = $options['date_format'];
        foreach (str_split($format) as $splitted) {

by

$format = $options['date_format'];
preg_match_all('/./u', $format, $temp);
foreach ($temp as $splitted) {

which works for me (Chinese). Seems, str_split is not multibyte-safe.

Please enter a reproductable issue in jira.
And don't forget all necessary data for reproduction.
We will look into it.

Btw: Line 662 is an iconv call... and iconv IS binary save. ;-)
