By your description, count($issue)/count($issue[]) is the number of real elements. And a foreach loop will correctly step through whatever array you pass to it, even if the values of that array are themselves arrays. Or could you try something like count(array_keys($issue)) ... or the loop could be as simple as: $count=0; foreach($issue as $junk) $count++; which is clear, though to my eye is the same as count(); I'm surprised that count($issue) would report something other than the number of elements in $issue. I never count my multidimensional arrays so it's never come up for me. :-/ -- Paul Chvostek <paul@it.ca> Operations / Abuse / Whatever +1 416 598-0000 it.canada - hosting and development http://www.it.ca/
