Description:
------------
The function mb_eregi_replace() is not caseinsensitive for multibyte characters.

This bug is in PHP 4.3.3 as well.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');

$pattern = utf8_encode('?');
$replace = 'X';
$subject = utf8_encode('?BER ?ber');

$result = mb_eregi_replace($pattern, $replace, $subject);

echo utf8_decode($result) . "\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
XBER Xber

Actual result:
--------------
?BER Xber

As of the current regex engine used by mbstring extension, all of the cyrillic / greek / arabic characters and some alphabetical characters that are not part of ascii character set such as a-umlaut (?) aren't handled correctly under case-insensitive mode. Probably the issue will be resolved in php5.

You can replace mb_eregi_replace with preg_replace with u modifier.

Example (utf-8 file encoding):
<?php
echo preg_replace('/(юникод)/iu', '<b>\\1</b>', 'Юникод удобен');
?>

As expected result is:
<b>Юникод</b> удобен
