 Exists in PHP function returning array size in bytes ?
 (For saving array into shared memory without serialize.)

No.

And you could maybe write one, if it was all strings in the array, but
you're gonna be screwed when PHP 6 with Unicode comes out, cuz the
number of bytes "depends" on where you're gonna store it, in which
charset, and several other factors...

There was a thread on PHP-internals last month about the the strlen()
function should or shouldn't do for that -- and if sizeof() should or
shouldn't do something different.

You probably shouldn't be poking it into shared memory without
serializing it anyway, I don't think...



How about saving the array as a file and then do a filesize()?
