I'm looking for a code/lib in php that I will call it and pass a text to it and it will tell me:
do you have any idea of any code/lib exists that will do this for me?
Again I'm not looking for sending SMS or converting SMS, just to give me information about the text
Update:
Ok I did the below code and it seems to be working fine, let me know if you have better/optimized code/solution/lib
$text = '\@£$¥èéùìòÇØøÅåΔ_ΦΓΛΩΠΨΣΘΞÆæßÉ -./0123456789:;<=>?¡ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÑܧ¿abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöñüà ^{}[~]|€' ; //"\\". //'"';//' ';
print $text . "\n";
print isGsm7bit($text). "\n";
print getNumberOfSMSsegments($text). "\n";
function getNumberOfSMSsegments($text,$MaxSegments=6){
/*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS
Larger content (concatenated SMS, multipart or segmented SMS, or "long SMS") can be sent using multiple messages,
in which case each message will start with a user data header (UDH) containing segmentation information.
Since UDH is part of the payload, the number of available characters per segment is lower:
153 for 7-bit encoding,
134 for 8-bit encoding and
67 for 16-bit encoding.
The receiving handset is then responsible for reassembling the message and presenting it to the user as one long message.
While the standard theoretically permits up to 255 segments,[35] 6 to 8 segment messages are the practical maximum,
and long messages are often billed as equivalent to multiple SMS messages. See concatenated SMS for more information.
Some providers have offered length-oriented pricing schemes for messages, however, the phenomenon is disappearing.

$TotalSegment=0;
$textlen = mb_strlen($text);
if($textlen==0) return false; //I can see most mobile devices will not allow you to send empty sms, with this check we make sure we don't allow empty SMS
if(isGsm7bit($text)){ //7-bit
$SingleMax=160;

$TotalSegment = ceil($textlen/$ConcatMax);

if($TotalSegment>$MaxSegments) return false; //SMS is very big.
return $TotalSegment;

function isGsm7bit($text){
$gsm7bitChars = "\\\@£\$¥èéùìòÇ\nØø\rÅåΔ_ΦΓΛΩΠΨΣΘΞÆæßÉ !\"#¤%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?¡ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÑܧ¿abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöñüà ^{}[~]|€";

I'm adding some extra information here because the previous answer isn't quite correct.
mb_strlen
will count this as a single character only.What I've come up with so far is the following to count 7-bit characters:
// Internal encoding must be set to UTF-8,
// and the input string must be UTF-8 encoded for this to work correctly
protected function count_gsm_string($str)
{
// Basic GSM character set (one 7-bit encoded char each)
$gsm_7bit_basic = "@£$¥èéùìòÇ\nØø\rÅåΔ_ΦΓΛΩΠΨΣΘΞÆæßÉ !\"#¤%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?¡ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÑܧ¿abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöñüà ";
// Extended set (requires escape code before character thus 2x7-bit encodings per)
$gsm_7bit_extended = "^{}\\[~]|€";
$len = 0;
for($i = 0; $i < mb_strlen($str); $i++) {
$c = mb_substr($str, i, 1);
if(mb_strpos($gsm_7bit_basic, $c) !== FALSE) {
$len++;
} else if(mb_strpos($gsm_7bit_extended, $c) !== FALSE) {
$len += 2;
} else {
return -1; // cannot be encoded as GSM, immediately return -1
}
}
return $len;
}
mb_convert_encoding($str, 'UTF-16', 'UTF-8')
.mb_convert_encoding
)count(unpack('C*', $utf16str))
and divide by two to get the number of UCS-2 16-bit characters that count toward the GSM multipart length*caveat emptor, a word on counting bytes:
strlen
to count the number of bytes. While it may work, strlen
is often overloaded in PHP installations with a multibyte-capable version, and is also a candidate for API change in the futuremb_strlen($str, 'UCS-2')
. While it does currently work, and will return, correctly, 2 for a pile of poo character (as it looks like two 16-bit UCS-2 characters), its stablemate mb_convert_encoding
is lossy when converting from >16-bit to UCS-2. Who's to say that mb_strlen won't be lossy in the future?mb_strlen($str, '8bit') / 2
. It also currently works, and is recommended in a PHP docs comment as a way to count bytes. But IMO it suffers from the same issue as the above UCS-2 technique.unpack
ing into a byte array, and counting that.So, what does this look like?
// Internal encoding must be set to UTF-8,
// and the input string must be UTF-8 encoded for this to work correctly
protected function count_ucs2_string($str)
{
$utf16str = mb_convert_encoding($str, 'UTF-16', 'UTF-8');
// C* option gives an unsigned 16-bit integer representation of each byte
// which option you choose doesn't actually matter as long as you get one value per byte
$byteArray = unpack('C*', $utf16str);
return count($byteArray) / 2;
}
function multipart_count($str)
{
$one_part_limit = 160; // use a constant i.e. GSM::SMS_SINGLE_7BIT
$multi_limit = 153; // again, use a constant
$max_parts = 3; // ... constant
$str_length = count_gsm_string($str);
if($str_length === -1) {
$one_part_limit = 70; // ... constant
$multi_limit = 67; // ... constant
$str_length = count_ucs2_string($str);
}
if($str_length <= $one_part_limit) {
// fits in one part
return 1;
} else if($str_length > ($max_parts * $multi_limit) {
// too long
return -1; // or throw exception, or false, etc.
} else {
// divide the string length by multi_limit and round up to get number of parts
return ceil($str_length / $multi_limit);
}
