Counting Number Of Chars in a Variable

[ESCForums_com]

I know this is simple, I just draw a blank. I need to find how many chars in a variable.

Thanks,

You mean the string length of a variable? Try this:

strlen($var);

Or else if it is char's there is a count_chars function. Visit http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count-chars.php for more details.
