No, there should be 10 of them, since every time Test() returns, the function carries on executing. If you only want one 'j' printed then put a return statement after the call to Test(): function Test() { static $count = 0; $count++; echo $count; if ($count < 10) { Test(); return; } echo "j"; } Test(); Cheers!
