strlen not working

[jeremycd]

I am trying to use the strlen method to get the lenght of a string but it gives me this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: () in c:\apache\htdocs\submitmeth.php on line 36

the function

function strlim ($word)
{
	$len = $strlen($word);
	if($len > 200)
	{
		echo "too long";
	}
}

im sort of lost as to what to do...

[seby]

$len = $strlen$word);

huh?

$len = strlen($word); 

[jeremycd]

and might i suggest you recheck your code? if it is like that that would cause the problem...
