Yes. This is correct. "BASE64" is not a valid _character_ encoding name and mb_strlen() treats it as default char encoding which will probably count a byte as a one char. <?php $str = "Hello World"; echo mb_strlen($str) . "\n"; echo "$str\n"; echo mb_strlen(mb_convert_encoding($str, "BASE64"), "BASE64")."\n"; echo mb_convert_encoding($str, "BASE64")."\n"; ?> 11 Hello World 16 SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ= -- Yasuo Ohgaki [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
