toHiragana and toKatakana methods are skipping kanji

[white-miku]

Hello,
I've created a simple page that represents the example from "Getting started". And I've noticed that in my implementation methods toHiragana and toKatakana() are skipping kanji symbols.
Result:

Results:
Words: 庭 で ライム を 育てています。
Readings: ニワデライムヲソダテテイマス。
Pronunciations: ニワデライムヲソダテテイマス。
Lemmas: 庭でライムを育てる。
Parts of speech: noun, postposition, noun, postposition, verb, symbol
Hiragana: 庭でらいむを育てています。
Katakana: 庭デライムヲ育テテイマス。
Romaji: niwa de raimu o sodateteimasu.
Furigana: 庭ニワデライムヲ育ソダテテイマス。

If you want, you may try it yourself: http://jpn.white-miku.me/index.php
At the same time readings, pronunciations, romaji and furigana works perfectly.
Can it be a bug? Or maybe it is MeCab misconfiguration?
Thank you.

Hello @white-miku
Parsing that works fine for me so I don't think its an issue with the package (could be wrong though). Yo can test your Mecab setup by running Mecab in the command line.

$ mecab

If that works, then I'm guessing its your implementation. If you paste you code in I might be able to help out.

Hello, @zachleigh
Thank you for the reply.
I've executed the example you provided and output looks similar with yours.

My implementation is very close to the example provided in Limelight documentation. It's just adapted for Yii2 framework:

	public function process()
	{
		$this->processed = true;
		$limelight = new Limelight();
		$results = $limelight->parse($this->text);

		$this->words = $results->string('word', ' ');
		$this->readings = $results->string('reading');
		$this->pronunciation = $results->string('pronunciation');
		$this->lemma = $results->string('lemma');
		$this->partOfSpeech = $results->string('partOfSpeech', ', ');
		$this->hiragana = $results->toHiragana()->string('word');
		$this->katakana = $results->toKatakana()->string('word');
		$this->romaji = $results->string('romaji', ' ');
		$this->furigana = $results->string('furigana');
	}

Me too. Function toHiragana and toKatakana escape the kanji. My result same with @white-miku . Function string('furigana') too, the kanji furigana become katakana not hiragana.
