[snip] No. By implementing the Countable interface, and implementing the count() method, the global count($c) function is supposed to call $c->count().

This would be true if the class does not implement the Countable interface. It does, however, and so 1 should not be returned, but instead, whatever number is returned from the count() method of the Collection class. See the SPL documentation at www.php.net/spl for more on how this is supposed to work. - Justin SPL is still teething apparently. The docs don't always match the current functionality, and, I imagine, it can change from build to build. I've recently had some bumpy rides trying to get Recursive Iterators working the way I want.

I agree that it should work as you expect it to, and, in my opinion, it's a bug. My opinion doesn't count for too much, but there it is. Chris --Thinking about implementing the Countable interface now....
