Returns string byte length of any type (string, array, object, bool, int, etc.)

This is identical to the wireLength() function except that it does not use multibyte string lengths on strings, so it returns a byte length when given a multibyte string rather than a visual character length. So on strings it uses strlen() rather than mb_strlen().

Please note this method is and thus not intended to be called directly.

Available since version 3.0.192.
