I couldn't parse this on the first try. Could you restate this?
Say there is a function which calls strlen($s) expecting it returns byte
size of $s,
and it is working fine when $s constains multibyte characters. For example,
the function expects strlen('áéí') returns 6 when the encoding is utf-8.
If this function is called by Uniocde ready applications on
Unicode-enabled PHP,
it will fall into error because strlen('áéí') will return 3.
Is there any way to let strlen('áéí') return 6 only when it is called by
the existing function?
Hope I explained well this time.
