note 92883 added to function.strlen

I have ran into a strange situation, when i wanted to process some strings, and i noticed the following: <?php echo (strlen("\\")); ?> will return 1 instead of 2, so watch out if you want mass processing strings, and the length has to be known for them, and they can contain such a substring. That is the case even if you read the string from a file or stream, and try to get its length. The use of the addslashes() function can solve the problem. ---- Server IP: 92.43.200.200 Probable Submitter: 157.181.119.145 (proxied: 157.181.193.191) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92883 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92883/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92883/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92883/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92883/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92883/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92883/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92883 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92883 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
