Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: Documentation problem
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:count() return values: incorrect "not ... or not"
Description:
------------
The documentation for count(), under Return Values, says: "If the
parameter is not an array or not an object with implemented Countable
interface, 1 will be returned." The "not ... or not" is logically
incorrect; it it were correct, count() would always return 1 because an
array is not an object with implemented Countable interface and vice
versa.
I believe logically correct wordings would be (disclaimer, I'm not a
native English speaker):
- If the parameter is not an array or an object with implemented
Countable interface, 1 will be returned.
- If the parameter is not an array and not an object with implemented
Countable interface, 1 will be returned.
- If the parameter is not an array nor an object with implemented
Countable interface, 1 will be returned.
