Your arguments to preg_replace are swapped, ie:
preg_replace('#\s+#', $str, '-');
should be:
preg_replace('#\s+#', '-', $str);
Also note that Unicode zero width spaces aren't included in \s, but
you can match them directly with the u modifier (replace <200b> with
an actual zero width space character):
preg_replace('#<200b>+#u', '-', $str);
Not a bug: closing.

Description:
------------
Group of zero width spaces is succesfully replaced by any character but
ordinary space.
Test script:
---------------
$str = "âââââââââ"; // 27 zero width spaces with
unicode code of u200B
var_dump($str);
var_dump(preg_replace('#\s+#', $str, '-'));
var_dump(preg_replace('#\s+#', $str, ' '));
Expected result:
----------------
string(27) "âââââââââ" string(1) "-" string(1)
"âââââââââ-"
Actual result:
--------------
string(27) "âââââââââ" string(1) "-" string(27)
"âââââââââ"
