Subject: [PHP] strlen() gives a wrong count


Hello there,

I have a 98 characters string (including spaces), wc -c says it's 98 
characters and a file containing this string is 98 bytes as well.

For some reason - strlen() says it's more... it says it's a 104 characters 
strings, when I removed the spaces (using sed on the shell and using 
str_replace on php) - wc said it's 83 characters and strlen() said it's
89...

How could that be? is there another way to get the exact number of 
characters in a string?

Thanks.



Regards
