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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74828&edit=1
