   Hi,

   I want to count the number of Characters in the title of each post on my archives page.

   This is what i have come up with, but i cannot make it work.

   It seems like "the_title()" is not a variable... Is this true?
   

   <?php
   $title_count = strlen(the_title());
   if ($title_count < 20 ) {
   	echo "TRUE ", $title_count;
   } else {
   	echo "FALSE ", $title_count;
   }
   ?>

   Is there anyway i can do this?

   best,

   soren

   try this instead:
   $title_count = strlen(the_title('', '', false));
   the third parameter is usually true, which echo's the title.
