A dirty (proper) way to get the real length of charters (not byte length). <?php function strlen_unicode($str) { return count(preg_split("//u", $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)); } $s = "Büyük"; echo strlen_unicode($s); // 5 echo mb_strlen($s); // 7 echo strlen($s); // 7 ?> ---- Server IP: 95.130.168.26 Probable Submitter: 78.186.57.165 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110337 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110337/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110337/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110337/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110337/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110337/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110337/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110337 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110337 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
