Req #41009 [Opn->Sus]: new count() mode COUNT_RECURSIVE_VALUES

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41009&edit=1 ID: 41009 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: paulschreiber at gmail dot com Summary: new count() mode COUNT_RECURSIVE_VALUES -Status: Open +Status: Suspended Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Arrays related Operating System: n/a PHP Version: 5.2.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Looks like this could be implemented in userland without too much trouble, and I cannot immediately see a benefit of having this functionality in PHP core. That doesn't mean that this couldn't be a useful feature, but it appears that it should be discussed, and this bug tracker is rather unsuitable for such discussions. So I encourage anybody interested in this to bring it up on the internals mailing list[1]. For the time being, I'm suspending this ticket.
