Is there an easy way to find the length of a substring...? 2

[rdyoll]

If I have a variable such as $data ($data will be a string of text), and:

if (substr($data, 0) > 30) {
do something;
}

obviously, this does not work.
What am I missing?

Try:

if (length($data) > 30) {
do something;
}

If it saved you time, and you're too far away to buy the guy a beer ( or whatever s/he prefers )
