what can alter prepare problem, using utf-8???

you using utf-8, 8-bit unicode encoding format. though supports 1,112,064 code points in unicode possible there issue here. seek utf-16 standard, idea. see below:

$dom_doc = new domdocument("1.0", "utf-16");

or

$dom_doc = new domdocument("1.0", "iso-10646");
