I don't think a "function" exists, but i would probably use (for

It would be interesting to know whether that method was faster or slower
than using this:
$iLen = strlen(implode("", $aArray));

At least less memory using. Since foreach sets pointers and reads only
array fields and not the whole array.
Your example would pump the whole array in one var.
But yeah, would be fun to know.
you can use microtime to benchmark that.
Please use it :)
