message byte size

[rumman]

Hi,
some time ago I got very strange error while sending a message:
Internal error (116 bytes written instead of 106 bytes) (999)
The cause is here:
strlen($aMessage['BINARY_NOTIFICATION']); // 106
@fwrite($this->_hSocket, $aMessage['BINARY_NOTIFICATION']); // 116

strlen counts correctly number of bytes also when multibyte character
set is used.

However php mbstring extension comes with nice backstabbing feature
called mbstring.func_overload.
http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.overload.php
When this is active, strlen actually returns number of *characters*

there are two suggestions how to avoid it.First one seems shorter but
it includes string conversion.

I would appreciate if you find time to integrate correct byte counting
also for this php setting, because i can not turn it off.

Thank you very much,
Roman

You saved my day. Thank you!

I don't know if it has other implications but for the time being, I did as hinted by the first php.net post, so I replaced the strlen method with the mb_strlen one to get $nLen.
