We will share this with you for your reference. The details are as follows:

The previous companies used English for foreign trade. Therefore, the length of statistics was measured using the strlen function, which has never been wrong. but now this error occurs when the Chinese language is counted, now let's test the record.

From the test above, we can see that:

Strlen converts Chinese characters into three bytes

Mb_strlen is counted as 1 byte in both Chinese and English.

Mb_strwidth converts Chinese into 2 bytes.

So we use the mb_strlen function for length statistics.
