iconv_strlen --  Returns the character count of string

Description

int iconv_strlen ( string str [, string charset])

Returns the character count of str.

In contrast to strlen(), iconv_strlen() counts the occurrences of characters in the given byte sequence str on the basis of the specified character set, the result of which is not necessarily identical to the length of the string in byte.

If charset parameter is omitted, str is assumed to be encoded in iconv.internal_charset.
