note 72860 added to function.count

// countValuesRecursive // The goal of this function is to count non-false values of a multidimenional array // This is useful in making a quick determination if a form sent any values // If no values were sent I can simply return to the blank form rather than continuing to the validation of each input // There are two limitations of the principle: // 1. If you WANT to send FALSE, 0, '', or NULL as form values this function will not count those, thus not doing what's expected // 2. This would create an endless loop on a form that has no required fields such as one where users can choose to recieve optional email subscriptions but where choosing none is also valid function countValuesRecursive($array, $count = 0) { // Cycle through the array foreach ($array as $value) { // Check if the value is an array if (is_array($value)) { // Cycle through deeper level $count = countValuesRecursive($value, $count); } else { // Check if the value is TRUE if ($value) { $count++; } } } // Return the count return $count; } ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 71.234.177.249 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72860 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72860/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72860/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72860/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72860/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72860/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72860/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72860 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72860 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
