It's a bit of a dirty hack though. If I compare a 2 character text
against a 40k text, the error handler will be invoked (39998 * 3)  times
if $text1 is the 2 byte string. That's extremely inefficient. I don't
think I've ever seen error suppression abused so badly to prevent
writing an extra line or 2 using isset().

Cheers,
