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 Gil Disatnik UNIX system/security administrator.
