note 77040 added to function.mb-strlen

Speed of mb_strlen varies a lot according to specified character set. If you need length of string in bytes (strlen cannot be trusted anymore because of mbstring.func_overload) you should use <?php mb_strlen($string, '8bit'); ?>. It's the fastest way (still a way slower than strlen, though) to determine byte length of string. Other single byte character sets (ASCII, ISO-8859-1, ...) are several times slower than 8bit. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 89.185.230.75 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-strlen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77040 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77040/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77040/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77040/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77040/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77040/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77040/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77040 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77040 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
