String Length in PHP
The number of characters in a string can be found
using the function strlen
:
<?php
echo strlen('abcde'); // outputs 5
?>
The string can also be stored in a variable:
<?php
$str = 'abcde';
echo strlen($str); // outputs 5
?>
A space is also a character:
<?php
echo strlen('ab de'); // outputs 5
?>
Write any string into a variable. Display the length of your string on the screen.
