So, in the manual [1], it says that count expects either an array [2] or countable object [3] as the first param. If you pass it something other then those two types, why would expect it to behave as if you had passed it an array? I would think one should expect unexpected results if giving unexpected input. 1 http://php.net/count#refsect1-function.count-description 2 http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php 3 http://us3.php.net/manual/en/class.countable.php -- Jim Lucas http://www.cmsws.com/ http://www.cmsws.com/examples/
