amen, this behavior makes no sense even though sizeof() is an alias to count(). sizeof('this') and sizeof('this long thing') are both 1, which makes no sense. I would go so far as to say a E_NOTICE is more appropriate than E_STRICT - you should only be using count() for arrays/objects.

Actually this result makes perfect sense since type conversion changes string into array('your string') and does a count of that, which is 1.

    This is yet another magic type casting I'd like to get rid of..
    Strict is not always bad, mmkay? :)

    I got bitten by this (unexpected?) behaviour of count() myself this week.
    I must have been strict in my mind and not passed anything but arrays
    to it before this. :)
