New Comment:
I think my problem is when I use strlen inside a class with HTML TAGS
delimiters ('<' and '>'). Behavior of strlen is bad. if $a = "<HTML>"
it says that strlen($a) is 0 rather than 6. I used substr to change '<'
and '>' for '¬' and '&' and then use strlen. but of course is
dirty-dirty.

Excuse me roger4a45, but isn't that exactly what the problem is?! That
it returns another output than expected?!
It returns 0 where it SHOULD return something around 50!
I probably have the same problem with strlen. When I use this:
if (strlen($mydateformat) < 4)
...and I _KNOW_ that $mydateformat is longer than 0, it often returns
the length 0! But then when I reload the page the error doesn't occur
again - usually only the first time I run this page in a new browser
window!
To me this really sounds like a bug...

A bug is when a function don't work properly... so, if I make
strlen("<HTML>") i wait that output will be 6. if strlen produce
another result is a bug. Ok. I will try to comment it to support forum.
Thanks.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a

appropriate forum for asking support questions.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.

whe we use strlen or substr there is a bug if parameter string is
something like this:
$a =
"<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>something</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>hi!</BODY><HTML>";
$b = strlen($a);
echo $b;
output is 0 rather real length of string.... Substr don't work right if
we use same $a...
any idea?
Is use a PHP 4.2.3 (ZIP file)
