If not then you can just unset($myStuff). If you do want to keep the array intact then I suppose you could store the count in a variable $counta, add more elements to the array (or not), take the count again and store it in a new variable $countb, then subtract the values $count = abs($counta - $countb); abs() converts to the absolute value if the result is negative. - Kevin
