Including spaces and other non-printable characters?

$num = strlen($mystrin g);

Might wanna trim of extra spaces at the end first.

$num = strlen(trim($my string));

Since the concept of function reference is totally unknown to you, let me
tell you about it. There's this website php.net where there is documented a
great big collection of php functions. They are categorized for easy access.
There, from the string functions, you would've found precisely what you were
looking for: a function called strlen();

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php for details.

In the future: please check the documentation before asking this simple
questions that really aren't worth answering. It's there, online. All the
time. You can download it in various formats...
