RE: Count columns in array

it's important to remember that what you have here is NOT a 2d array. $array is an array, each element of which can be any sort of variable ... e.g. $array[1] = "fred"; $array[2] = Array(); $array[3] = 1.245; ... but then try ... foreach ($array as $thisarray) echo(count($thisarray) . "<br>"); ... in this case count($array[2]) = 0 but count($array[1]) = 1 ... so be careful.
