note 112411 added to function.strlen

PHP's strlen function behaves differently than the C strlen function in terms of its handling of null bytes ('\0'). In PHP, a null byte in a string does NOT count as the end of the string, and any null bytes are included in the length of the string. For example, in PHP: strlen( "te\0st" ) = 5 In C, the same call would return 2. Thus, PHP's strlen function can be used to find the number of bytes in a binary string (for example, binary data returned by base64_decode). ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 50.0.7.36 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112411 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112411/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112411/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112411/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112411/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112411/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112411/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112411 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112411 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
