PHP 4.0 Bug #8953: in_array returning number of 'hits'

From: melvyn@idg.nl Operating system: any PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: in_array returning number of 'hits' I'd like to see in_array returning the number of values matching, instead of just true/false. IMHO, it would not create any backwards compatibility problems, since 0 equals false anyway and > 0 equals true. It would make constructing dual-parameter descisions much easier. For example - a bounce script, where "bounce_count / day" > 6 AND "bounces /week" = 5. This is very hard to do now, but with in_array returning the number of hits, it takes out at least 2 loops and a seperate "counts" array. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8953&edit=1
