What you asked was closer to the second question, which wouldn't be solved by using mb_strlen() I believe. In the second two cases, you might be able to use a preg_match type search.>> If no other functions work, you could parse the string into an array and compare against an array containing hebrew characters.>>> -TG I am asking the second question: how many Hebrew characters in astring that _very_likely_ contains other characters as well. The arraysuggestion sounds about what I am doing: checking if each letter is aHebrew character. I will also look into the mb_ functions. I did not know about thembefore. Thanks.
