note 59258 added to function.strlen

Here's a better strlen() for UTF-8 strings that doesn't access the byte past end of the string (on which newer PHP barfs): function strlen_utf8 ($str) { $i = 0; $count = 0; $len = strlen ($str); while ($i < $len) { $chr = ord ($str[$i]); $count++; $i++; if ($i >= $len) break; if ($chr & 0x80) { $chr <<= 1; while ($chr & 0x80) { $i++; $chr <<= 1; } } } return $count; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59258 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59258&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59258&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59258&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59258&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59258&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59258&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59258&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59258&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
