Note Submitter: pifta at csoma dot elte dot hu ---- 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.
