Re: [PHP4BETA] Re: (PHP4BETA) New function chrcount

Well, the new function (now named something str_count I believe) does more than just count characters, but also substrings. So it does have different functionality than count_chars. Plus, this function only keeps track of a single character, not every byte value. Not that much of a difference, but perhaps a little faster.
