mb_strlen

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5, PHP 7)

mb_strlen获取字符串的长度

说明

mb_strlen ( string $str [, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding() ] ) : mixed

获取一个 string 的长度。

参数

str

要检查长度的字符串

encoding

encoding 参数为字符编码。如果省略,则使用内部字符编码。

返回值

返回具有 encoding 编码的字符串 str 包含的字符数。 多字节的字符被计为 1。

如果给定的 encoding 无效则返回 FALSE

If you are unsure about what $encoding can be set to, here's a full list of all the encodings supported by this extension:

If you find yourself without the mb string functions and can't easily change it, a quick hack replacement for mb_strlen for utf8 characters is to use a a PCRE regex with utf8 turned on.

$strlen = preg_match_all("/.{1}/us",$utf8string,$dummy);

This is basically an ugly hack which counts all single character matches, and I'd expect it to be painfully slow on large strings.

Speed of mb_strlen varies a lot according to specified character set.

If you need length of string in bytes (strlen cannot be trusted anymore because of mbstring.func_overload) you should use <?php mb_strlen($string, '8bit'); ?>.
It's the fastest way (still a way slower than strlen, though) to determine byte length of string. Other single byte character sets (ASCII, ISO-8859-1, ...) are several times slower than 8bit.

Just did a little benchmarking (1.000.000 times with lorem ipsum text) on the mbs functions

especially mb_strtolower and mb_strtoupper are really slow (up to 100 times slower compared to normal functions). Other functions are alike-ish, but sometimes up to 5 times slower.

just be cautious when using mb_ functions in high frequented scripts.

Thank you Peter Albertsson for presenting that!

After spending more than eight hours tracking down two specific bugs in my mbstring-func_overloaded environment I have learned a very important lesson:

Many developers rely on strlen to give the amount of bytes in a string. While mb-overloading has very many advantages, the most hard-spotted pitfall must be this issue.

Two examples (from the two bugs found earlier):

1. Writing a string to a file:

<?php
$str
= "string with utf-8 chars ?è? - doo-bee doo-bee dooh";
$fp = fopen($this->_file, "wb");
if (
$fp) {
 
$len = strlen($str);
 
fwrite($fp, $str, $len);
}
?>

PS This is found i the PEAR::Cache_Lite package (Lite.php) - Reported

2. Iterating through a string's characters:

<?php
$str
= "string with utf-8 chars ?è? - doo-bee doo-bee dooh";
$newStr = "";
for (
$i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {
 
$newStr .= $str[$i];
}
?>

Both of these situations will fail to save / store the last characters in $str. This can be very hard to spot and can be especially fatal for say serialized strings, xml etc.

So, try to avoid these situations to support overloaded environments, and remeber Peter Albertssons remark if you find problems under such an environment.

I have been working with some funny html characters lately and due to the nightmare in manipulating them between mysql and php, I got the database column set to utf8, then store characters with html enity "&#7885;" as ? in the database and set the encoding on php as "utf8".

This is where mb_strlen became more useful than strlen.  While strlen('?') gives result as 3, mb_strlen('?','UTF-8') gives 1 as expected.

But left(column1,1) in mysql still gives wrong char for a multibyte string.  In the example above, I had to do left(column1,3) to get the correct string from mysql.  I am now about to investigate multibyte manipulation in mysql.
