Re: [PHP4BETA] Re: (PHP4BETA) New function chrcount From: Peter Kovacs (kovacsp <email protected>)

Well, the new function (now named something str_count I believe) does more
than just count characters, but also substrings. So it does have
different functionality than count_chars. Plus, this function only keeps
track of a single character, not every byte value. Not that much of a
difference, but perhaps a little faster.
