This is certainly correct, but it should also be noted that my original code used it once (thus, it was in fine form) and it was only to demonstrate a small field of results. Still, though a different discussion, it's worth reminding folks to audit their own code to see how many places they have unnecessary calls to count() when cycling through the same array in multiple places. Someone should start a "Pointers For Newbies, Reminders For Oldies" thread on the list and let everyone participate with what should be obvious - but are often overlooked - points within coding practice that can cause the programmer to develop bad habits and bad code.
