note 89710 deleted from function.mb-strlen by danbrown

Note Submitter: Amaroq ---- When dealing with submitted forms that you've imposed a character limit on, you must remember that functions that count characters consider "\r\n" to be two characters. <?php //These will both output 2. echo strlen("\r\n"); echo mb_strlen("\r\n"); ?> If I had thought of this starting out, I would have saved myself several hours of trouble trying to get php to cut a message to the same length that my auxiliary javascript validation imposed on it.
