The POST data is all sent as text anyway so what I said about assuming 1 character = 1 byte will be the best way of calculatuing the size of the entire request (remember to include all variable names, ?, & and = characters as well though).

RE: [PHP] get size of variable n bytes
Yes, well, that complicates things. You see, I'm trying to determine the size that the $_POST variable will be in bytes, because there is a byte limit in the php.ini file for POST variable size, so I was hoping for something easy like bytes_size($_POST)... Would also be handy to calculate how much memory your script will use/need. So, you say there is no such function or no way to determine it? -Original Message- From: David Nicholson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 4:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] get size of variable n bytes Hello, This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Wed, 16 Jul 2003 at 15:31, lines prefixed by '>' were originally written by you. > One way would be to assume that 1 character takes 1 byte to store > so... > $sizeinbytes = strlen($field); Also, this will only work with text data as numbers types, bool types etc will be stored differently.

Hello, This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Wed, 16 Jul 2003 at 14:52, lines prefixed by '>' were originally written by you. > Hi List > Sorry, tried to find it in manual... > I'd like to query a db and and see how big the result is in bytes. How > can I do that? > Thanks One way would be to assume that 1 character takes 1 byte to store so... $sizeinbytes = strlen($field); Obviously the amount of disk space that your database server takes to store the field is going to vary from this so if you need to know that exact value you will have to look for a function within your database that will calculate it for you.

Hi List Sorry, tried to find it in manual... I'd like to query a db and and see how big the result is in bytes. How can I do that? Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
