Note Submitter: blassmann at hotmail dot com dot com ---- ceo at l-i-e dot com said: count('') returns the very un-intuitive value of 1... ___ That's kind of retarded, in my opinion. I wish it would just return 0. For example, in counting files: $files = glob('*.*') $indexCount= count($files); if ($indexCount > 0) . . . would continue even with zero files, because count still gave a value of "1". I had to test for truth first: if ($files = glob('*.*')){ // not == $indexCount= count($files); . . . }
