Measure string size in Bytes in php

by

You can use mb_strlen() to get the byte length using a encoding that only have byte-characters, without worring about multibyte or singlebyte strings.
For example, as drake127 saids in a comment of mb_strlen, you can use ‘8bit’ encoding:

<?php
    $string = 'Cién cañones por banda';
    echo mb_strlen($string, '8bit');
?>

You can have problems using strlen function since php have an option to overload strlen to actually call mb_strlen. See more info about it in http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.overload.php

For trim the string by byte length without split in middle of a multibyte character you can use:

mb_strcut(string $str, int $start [, int $length [, string $encoding ]] )
