textwidth madness

I'm having some very strange issues with the textwidth function. If I try and input a variable into the function like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
foo = "some text here";

len = textwidth(1, "Verdana", "b", foo);

it will always output the same value no matter what the text is in the variable (in my case, 74).

However, if I use a string literal, like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
len = textwidth(1, "Verdana", "b", "some text here");

It will work properly.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong here? I've checked the variables value over and over, it's nothing to do with that, I don't think.

It's gettextwidth.

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  foo = "some text here"; 

  len = gettextwidth(1, "Verdana", "b", foo);

  len2 = gettextwidth(1, "Verdana", "b", "some text here");

  echo(len SPC len2); // echos "184 184"

}

Ah, I hadn't used the function since long ago when it was textwidth(). Thanks :)

It was never just textwidth() :P

I'm pretty, very and quite sure it existed way back in gs1.

Or.. Ok, I'm like.. 100% that there was. newfeatures2003.txt

Odd enough, I alway remembered the gettextwidth()... wonder why it was changed!
