Elgg\Security\Crypto::strlen (   $binary_string)
protected

Count the number of bytes in a string.

We cannot simply use strlen() for this, because it might be overwritten by the mbstring extension. In this case, strlen() will count the number of characters based on the internal encoding. A sequence of bytes might be regarded as a single multibyte character.

Use elgg_strlen() to count UTF-characters instead of bytes.

Parameters
string$binary_stringThe input string
Returns
int The number of bytes
