This signal is emitted when the insert_text() method is called, which happens internally every time the text is added to by the end user, at every key press.

The string_length that is passed is the length of the string that is being inserted, and not the length of the string that makes up the content of the text widget.

Note that there is a fourth parameter here that the signal cannot carry in PHP-GTK because it is a GTK_TYPE_POINTER, which is an unsupported type. Depending on the E-NOTICES settings in your php.ini file, you may get an error message when you connect this signal. This does not affect the signal's functionality.
