Yes, indeed.  The OP most likely faces the problem outlined in
<http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php#115441>.  The
solution is simple: just explicitly set the $encoding parameter to the
desired enconding, or as of PHP 5.6.0, to set the ini directive
default_charset to the desired value.
