Description
int
count ( mixed var)
Returns the number of elements in var,
which is typically an array (since anything else will have
one element).
If var is not an array, 1 will
be returned (exception: count(NULL) equals
0).
| Avertisment |
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.

Please see the Arrays
section of the manual for a detailed explanation of how arrays
are implemented and used in PHP.
Exemplu 1. count() example
$a[0] = 1; $a[1] = 3; $a[2] = 5; $result = count ($a); // $result == 3
$b[0] = 7; $b[5] = 9; $b[10] = 11; $result = count ($b); // $result == 3;
