When counting the length of a utf-8 string in php i use mb-strlen() ,example:\[code\]if (mb_strlen($name, 'UTF-8') < 3) { $error .= 'Name is required. Minimum of 3 characters required';}\[/code\]As the text fields can accept any language (multilanguage) i want to make sure that php will count mutltilanguage utf-8 characters correctly.Is this sufficent or do i need to use other methods also as i am concerned php may get it wrong for some reason, maybe i am just being sceptical but i don't want people bypassing important validation because php is getting it wrong.Thanks for any help
