How to know the length of a Variable.

How to know the length of a Variable. I have tried following codes:


$tamnt = new Array();
_set($len, $tamnt.length);


assuem $tamnt=6495
we need the length of $tamnt
the answer is 4


and
this one also

_set($len, ($tamnt).length);

Please correct my codes.

Any updates on this......

narayan

$tamnt = 6495;
$len = (""+$tamnt).length; //=4. you want the string length.

Btw, how can $tamnt be an Array if it is equal to 6495?!

Thanks Narayan it works.

We are storing the number in an array and then later trying to calculate the string length.
