count

(PHP3 , PHP4 )

count -- Count elements in a variable

Description

int count (mixed var)

Returns the number of elements in var, which is typically an array (since anything else will have one element).

Returns 1 if the variable is not an array.

Returns 0 if the variable is not set.

Warning

Count() may return 0 for a variable that isn't set, but it may also return 0 for a variable that has been initialized with an empty array. Use isset() to test if a variable is set.

See also: sizeof(), isset(), and is_array().
