Char counter

[marcozco]

Is there a simple way, or an already done script (with PHP) to count in real time char that I'm writing in a form??

Tnx 1000

I can give u a way to do it with javascript.
I doubt it can be done with php, if it can be done with php please correct me.

what do you mean exactly by
"counting in real time char ..." ?

If you want to know (or limit) the number
of char composing an HTML page you're
creating dynamicly, you can output
everything in a string, and then
use the strlen() function to know the size
of the output.

Instead of using

print "Hello World !<BR>";
print "<HR>";
print "....";

using :

$buffer = "Hello World !<BR>";
$buffer .= "<HR>";
$buffer .= "....";

$nb_char = strlen($buffer);

print $buffer;

I think so, infact I did it in java now :-)

Tnx
