note 72596 added to function.strlen

Paolo, are you sure about strlen() counting characters? Could you please show me an example? For me it seems that strlen() always count bytes, no matter what the current locale or mb_internal_encoding is, just as its C counterpart does. If you want to count characters then you have to set the encoding with mb_internal_encoding() and then use mb_strlen(). ---- Server IP: 195.56.193.13 Probable Submitter: 195.56.209.132 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72596 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72596/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72596/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72596/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72596/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72596/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72596/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72596 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72596 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
