I am trying to find out which string is the longest and then find out what

String 1 The script below works sometimes but not all the time.
Is there a better way to do this or tell me what is wrong with the script I
am using
$string1 = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8";
$string2 = "1,2,3,4,6,7,8";
Can you give us an example of two strings where the comparison fails?
I suspect you are looking for the number of "entries" in the string,
rather than the length of the string. For example:
$string1 = "1,2,3,4,5,6,9";
$string2 = "1,2,3,10,11,12";
number of entries in $string1 is 7, number of entries in $string2 is
6, but length($string1) = 13, while length($string2) = 14. Is this
the problem you are seeing?
