I know about undocumented feature - mb_orig_* functions. And I know that count()/sizeof() returns the number elements in array, for all other types it returns 1. I suggest adding a function, which returns the length of a binary object in bytes, in MB String module to use that function with filesystem, network and other functions which handle binary data. -- PHP Internationalization Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
