\Jawira\TheLostFunctions\str_bytes
str_bytes - Get string length in bytes.
Description
PHP has a 'function overloading' feature, it can be enabled
using mbstring.func_overload
option in php.ini
. This option changes the behaviour of strlen
, therefore
this function is not reliable anymore to measure the size of a string in bytes.
Use str_bytes
to get the size of a string in bytes. This function is not
affected by 'function overloading'.
str_bytes(string $string): int
Parameters
- string
- The string being measured for length.
Return value
The size of the string
in bytes.
Example
use function Jawira\TheLostFunctions\str_bytes;
str_bytes('hello'); // 5
str_bytes('Único'); // 6
