ATTENTION: never solved pattern!

I aksed around, no one knows. Here is my problem:

-> I simply want to match all utf8 alphabetic characters <-

Example provided in manual for preg_match on php.net website doesn't work properly, preg_match("/[\w\pL]/u",$var); works for most (german/scnadinavian) characters but if i use some cirilic characters like " Срећа " it fails. I know perl works properly, its utf8 aware and when i do $string =~ /\w/ if $string is utf8 encoded, it will match all alphabetic utf8 characters. I also read on php website that its PCRE aware, well...i set locale to many many things, en_US.utf8, en_US, only UTF8...nothing changes.

Please help!!

This matches for me:

[code]
<meta charset="utf-8">
<pre>
<?php
$h_stroke = pack('c*', 0xC4, 0xA7);
echo $string = "Cpe${h_stroke}a";
preg_match_all('/[\w\pL]/u', $string, $matches);
echo '<br/>';
print_r($matches);
?>
</pre>
[/code]
